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...

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

This TV is not 1080p, it's 720p. However, it's generally accepted that on any monitor 50" and below the additional resolution isn't discernable.

Just tell everyone that it is 1080p, nobody will know the difference, especially you. This set does accept 1080p input through HDMI.

This tv is 720p, you can connect a 1080p source but it will downscale it to 720p. Rule of thumb is that 50" and under it is almost impossible to tell a 720p set from a 1080p. Most hd broadcast are still sent in 720p due to bandwith limitations.

well there's your problem right there - this tv is 1920x1080, which is the correct 1080p resolution. what you can do is get a copy of PowerStrip, free software which lets you set custom screen resolutions and scan rates. Search Google for the phrase "custom resolution hdtv" (without the quotes) and you'll find a wealth of info and tips to get you set up.

This upscales to 4K but is not a 4K screen. I'm not a gamer so can't answer that. I've had the TV for 6 months and am totally satisfied with it.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

Jonathan,Which model did you end up going with? I was super interested in this TV, but it apparently doesn't support 1080i, which is no good for my Xbox 360. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the older model (32HL67) and this one (32HL67U, "U" indicating a newer iteration)?

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung. A huge difference between the 550 & 650 units due to going from 60hz to 120hz.Hope my experience helps. I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it.

What about the picture quality? My TV is coming in a few days and the HDMI ports and all the other stuff is not a problem for me. Im just concerned about the picture because the store didnt have a floor model to look at.

The LT provides 720p not the 1080p, but looks pretty good. No issues with the HDMI hook up. This is fine for me as my tv only does 720p.

For what it's worth, I went to sharp website to check this out as I was also confused. It apparently IS 1080P. Here's the link: http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC32LE551U.aspx

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!
