My wife and I physically set up the TV on its stand and placed it in position. If you know what you're doing, the electronic part of the setup should be brief but I took longer fumbling a bit over the cable box/TV accommodations. But all went well finally.
Let me add perhaps the most important thing. Once set up, I restarted the Marvin Gaye at Montreux DVD that I had been using to hook up the XD-E500 and let it rip. What a reward for all the effort of buying this TV - my TV watching will never be the same.
If I could find any cons for this set: The back panel is too close to the edge of the TV, not really a problem because it makes for easy access, but it may cause a pain for cable management.
Blu-Ray is still the way to go, but even playing DVDs upconverted to 1080p looks amazing on this set. If you want a quality picture and don't feel like dropping the cash on Blu-Ray, invest in a nice upscaling player.
I, currently, have both a PS3 and 360 hooked up via HDMI and the picture quality is on par with other high priced sets. Blu-ray looks fantastic. What can I say... I love 1080p!
Menus aren't too bad, either. Not as good as Sony's, but still, there are many options it's fairly easy to navigate.
If you're looking for a decently priced HDTV, look no further. Picture quality is outstanding and the set itself looks very nice with its piano black exterior.
The most important thing to me and the ultimate reason I went with this model is because of its great upconversion abilities. Non-HD programs often look terrible on HDTV's, and you never get to see what they look like in the stores as they always play High def programs. The REGZA line has a great upconversion processor in it, which makes standard definition look quite smooth and clear, all things considered.
Just a small warning however: I had a very strange issue with it regarding the auto brigtness sensor. For whatever reason, TV's with this feature sometimes block your cable box remote IR signal, which can be quite frustrating. When I tried to use my cable box remote, it only worked if it was directly touching the box. After disabling that feature however, my remote worked just fine. So if you seem to be having the same problem, dont blame the tv or the cable company, just turn off this feature in the TV menu.
