I have the 57hdx82, also tried the panny 53wx52.
Also a Tosh 40H80 tried the Mits 55857(it went right back)
Depending on what you plan to view will determine which brand will do you justice.BTW TOsh has separate video setting for each input, panny's are global.
As for what I've tested, cable,digital cable, DVD rp91, as sources.
The Tosh still makes the best line doubler for viewing ntsc pic's. Even though it's 540P, miles infront of panny for this.
Digital cable is superb, but must be viewed on Svid and the IC must be a dual run coax. I believe AQ makes one,or DIY .
As for the DVD, the panny at 480 gets an A+. I'd give the Tosh A-,B+.
