How is the LCD picture quality, side angle viewing??

Good enough (I'd say quite good). Kids have not complained that they can't see from the sides.

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

I think it is good on an angle, I have had no problems with this TV/Monitor i like it very much!

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

Viewing from the side is fine. The colors are good but the contrast is noticeably worse if you aren't sitting in front of the TV. It's not enough of a problem to really affect the viewing experience though.

I don't really do photographic work. It is far superior to the old TN screen it replaced. Without putting an IPS display next to it I couldn't make a decent comparison. Now that Dell is running sales on their 24" 4K IPS display I'd take a closer look at that. If you do get this 28" display keep fluorescent lights away from it. Fluorescent flicker plus 30Hz refresh = ugh.

You can adjust the aspect ratio so that it fills the entire screen, but that would distort the picture somewhat. I like to put it in 4:3 mode, so it looks like a normal picture. Burn-in warnings be damned! But you'll be watching the important stuff through the HD air antenna anyway.I think the SD picture is just okay. It's a bit pixelated (probably because of the size of the TV) and the colors don't seem as sharp as my 23-year old Sony Trinitron. Once you see the HD picture, SD will look that much worse.

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

contrast ratio is one thing. From store display, my eyes prefer sony or samsumg. For some reason Toshiba and LG doesn't attract my eyes as much. Store test is the best.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

The viewing angle is fine and is better than 45 degrees from the side. Never has been an issue. I really recommend this one - it is so easy to use. The ones that you have to push minutes by one minute at a time are much more time consuming.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

I really appreciate your answer to my question and so quickly too. Thanks! That one negative review about lines in the LCD, increasing lines, is sort of what is holding me back, but wow, what an optical zoom which is the main attraction for me, as I suspect it is for all who purchase it, but I am still on the fence here. You never know how the unit will arrive to you which makes me reluctant to get a memory card until I see it is working probably, so thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated!

Great no complaints from my perspective, the tv is fabulous but again that's only my opinion. Hope it helps! Ps I would buy it again

Sound is typical for thin LED-LCD, which IMO is pretty bad. You want to hook up external speakers, but can only use the digital coaxial or headphone jack, as there is no digital optical.I thought the picture quality was very good, but mine had a faulty panel. Someone else got a faulty panel too if you read the reviews. Just know that if you order one, you may end up having to exchange it. I ended up ordering a Panasonic, and the first one was perfect. Not need to return it.

I am OK with it. The only thing that surprised me when I looked at it from an angle about 45 degrees (approximately) was the change of colors (slight). But mostly I work with this monitor looking straight at it, so there is not much to say about it. Hope this helps.
