Among non-HD sets sold to consumers, I will take the late-1980s Sony XBR Pro over anything, anything else I have ever seen. Fantastic HV regulation and essentially no "ringing"/edge enhancement on vertical lines; these two areas are where I have just not seen any non-Sony set compete. Do a needle-pulse test on this set next to any other, and see what kind of undistorted contrast you can get out of both displays. I remember reading of someone who actually connected such a signal to the system feeding all the TVs in a store once, and the manager almost had a heart attack with the results!
