I was able to install it by using chairs and serving stands to raise one side at a time until I got the screen high enough to lift the bracket hooks onto the wall mount. It was very difficult and heavy, and it's a miracle the chairs and stands didn't fall over during that process. Not terribly bright to do it myself, but after more than a week of NTSC on an old CRT, I just couldn't wait. There's no way I could have installed my old plasma by myself without slicing off both my hands and dropping the unit, but the 5010 has nifty handholds on the rear panel.
I just set it up last night, so I'm sure I used D-Nice's revised settings. I backed off a little on his color recommendation, as it appeared too vibrant. I'll need to play around with it some more and may go back to his recommendation. That A/V preamp still has me concerned in terms of its impact on the picture. Some of the broadcasts look good, if they're in 1080i or 720. Below that, it looks bad--definitely worse than before.
