Other than the fact that this Display was in burst mode to attract passing crowds, we weren't overly impressed with the picture quality. Rainbow effect was evident, fixed pattern noise, horizontal banding and MPEG2 artifacting were also prevalent (possibly source related). Their so called 1080P demo left much to be desired. Hopefully this display will do much better properly calibrated in a controlled viewing environment. In any event, it was good to see manufacturers finally start rolling out 1080P displays. Now if only we had the software support!
