Picture quality is good my only concern is that Wi-Fi ready meant Wi-Fi capable. You sill have to get a dongle on the side for netflix, etc. Eceryhig else is cool for the price

Amazing blue-ray quality! It does full 1080p/24hz and HDMI deep color plus the upconversion of standard dvd's is very good as well not to mention it plays almost every file type imaginable through the usb port and it recognizes both my Buffalo 1TB usb powered external hard drives formatted in NTFS or FAT32!

it is not technically HD, but it looks pretty good nonetheless. I use it with my ps3 and watch hd movies all the time and really like it.

I have a "stupid" question. My LCD sets are only 720p. Will I get a markedly better picture from my DVD player that I currently have when I put in a Blu-Ray disc on these sets?

WAOOO zachary, i think you are wrong. i got mine and for my surprise it is 1080p. i have a hd dvd player and it is capable of handling the 1080p. My xbox 360 display the image at 1080i, and my HD signal too.So i dont understand why you said that this TV is not 1080p?IT IS...

Broadcast is probably 720p. Does the 1080 light illuminate when using a blu ray disc?

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it seriously. I've reviewed a lot of different tv's, this one looks like the best...I particularly like the 50,000:1 ratio. The only thing holding me back is, I've heard that new models of Blu Ray DVD are coming out later this summer that are much improved... Anyway, I saw this (the 46" model) in a store, and it looks VERY nice...

It shoots very well in 1080 with a little tweaking. I prefer to use a lower setting for storage reasons, personally. Don't know anything about viewing on 4K.

No, the screen resolution is 1366 x 768, so 1080p movies will play like 720p.

I would recommend it. Especially for the price. We haven't had any issues and have loved it. If you want 1080 high def this won't deliver. However it does deliver DVD quality and has exceptional brights. The colors are excellent, once you adjust it correctly.

HD quality is extremely good. I'm using a 1080P projector and can't tell it's a screen. Looks as good as my HD TV.

It is. You just can't tell because there is only so much that up-conversion can do. It isn't some magic wand that suddenly turns 480p into 1080p. All it does is enhance what is there, if there isn't enough there to be properly enhanced you wont see much difference.

With the right movies, Blu-Ray definitely works well with a 720P. Also works well as a upscaling DVD player. I connected my Blu-Ray using the component hookup, since I only have one HDMI. No problem since component gives you 720P. I strongly recommend buying a Blu-Ray with internet access. A lot of firmware upgrades are pushed through. Also, great for streaming Netflix, You Tube, if you get an LG or Samsung with Netflix widgets. The biggest problem is that most Blu-Ray movies are mediocre transfers, and not worth buying. Go to Blu-Ray specific sites, I think Blu-Ray movies.com is one, to review the PQ. Amazon mixes the DVD/Blu-Ray reviews together and they are misleading. Dexter in Blu-Ray, is impressive. I joined Netflix after buying my Blu-Ray. Pay $10.99 a month with Blu-Ray access. To me, it's by far the best way to go. I bought a few from Amazon, just so I could demo to friends. By the way, Planet Earth is only 720P quality, and you've seen how good that is.

I recently purchased the Sharp set you are considering. I'm not familiar with the Sony but the Sharp is 1080p capable so you'll never need to upgrade it when broadcast HD goes to full 1080p. Blue Ray and HD DVD also are either 1080i or 1080p capable now. I've been an admirer of the Sonys from what I've seen in the stores but my Sharp with 1080p is awesome.

I have not had an issue with moving video in HD, but to be honest, I have not played any blu-ray discs on this monitor. HD with You-tube and other online sources has been fine.

The 4k has a beautiful picture. I have been very happy with it. Recently Netflix announced some 4k streaming. i viewed some of the offerings and the differences from HD run from minor to significantly clearer almost 3D like. The 4k is pricey vs what is available on 1080 and the return on investment is not yet confirmed but given what i saw on Netflix it is promising.

Do you know how big the files would be for 1080p? It would be out of control and need a 500gb drive vs the onboard 60gb and you would be burning through crazy DVDs to archive everything. As a user, 1080i is fine. If you want 1080p, hold out for the upcoming blu-ray camcorders... but be prepared to spend some serious cash and it's first generation.http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/hitachis-blu-ray-camcorders-coming-this-year/
