Flat screens, regardless if LCD or plasma, will never be quiet as sharp as a tube TV. And when there is a lot of motion, such as sports or a fight scene, you may notice a little bit of 'ghosting' (for lack of knowing the correct terminology). This will come across as a slight blurring type of look. The color stuff...you can definitely tweak. BUT...this might change based on the the show you're watching.

Consider putting a little bit more space between you and the screen when you're viewing. That might help a little bit with the blurriness.

Where did gater go to see Flanigan?

And by the way....I mentioned you to HB and how pretty it looked where you live ... and that it would be nice to go for a quick visit to see the area. He didn't comment against it. :D

Hope you have a great time at the fireworks tonight and that the weather is good for you.

*hugs*
