Actually, we have an upconversion DVD player but I do not remember ever
seeing anything but sharp DVD's, even before we got it. The set's own
upconversion engine is very good. Remember, DVD's themselves are just 480i.

I don't believe this is true. I think the TV appears brighter in a dark
room, just like any other TV set.

No. The picture on this TV is as bright as you want it. We watch movies with
only a 25 watt backlight behind the set. Very bright picture. Of course, you
can adjust it as bright or dim as you like. In the stores, the TV pictures
are bright because the salesmen adjust them to "vivid". That is too bright
for most people at home.
