I just received this TV a week and a half ago from Sharp Direct and the picture is amazing! I added a suround sound system and I feel like I am in the movie theatre. Standard DVDs and HD TV are terrific. Standard Channels are good.
I will be getting a Blu Ray or HD DVD player soon.
It looks like I got a good one without the banding issue. I have a 32" Sony XBR2 and this Sharp Aquos LC-45D62U has an awesome picture which is better than the Sony!
Glad I bought it and saved a tone of $$ over the Sony XBR line.
