I didn't know they made that size... usually 32" LCD i'm not too excited about but 32" plasma would be much better right?

That said, it does seem to have a memory effect on the display, namely with pillarboxing and logo/"bug" artifacts. It's not permanent burn-in but can be troubling under certain conditions. Supposedly there is an hour-long erasing routine available through the menu. Usually it's invisible with a varied image but if you're watching a 16x9 black screen, you may see ghostlike vestiges.

Also, the built-in stereo speakers are very, very low-fi. I was hoping for better range but there IS an optical output. Who knows which 5.1 powered speaker setup is the most compact/modest with an optical input? Is it the Logitech 5500?

I'm all ears. . . .
