The set defaults to a soft focus so you have to go into the picture menu and boost it up.Also it's a 4:3 set for watching 90% of what's on tv now and does an amazing 16:9 letterbox or stretched when playing HDTV or DVD.
Then there is the progressive scan and component inputs and the picture is absolutely stunning.
I actually think the color on the Panasonic beats the Sony by far when properly adjusted.

I agree with post saying Panasonic image is actually better than the Sony.I bought the Panasonic CT-34WX50 34" widescreen because the image is so good on cable, DVD, and HDTV. The Sony still showed pixels, very sharp, but I could not make the pixels fade away like the Panasonic can. Even cable source is so smooth on the Panasonic.
Love the set. Only disappointments: no XDS info display, and closed captioning on/off (without muting) is nestled deep on the menus - no one button solution like the Sony "Display" button.
Now if I could just get over my conflicted feelings when I watch the "Just" mode.
