My comments

• I just bought this set and wish I had read your review before I had. I couldn't agree more. At first I thought I was just being picky or that I just hadn't found the right adjustment yet, but I don't think that is the case. I too had a great experience with an older 42 inch panasonic and thought that this would be a no brainer. What a bummer. In reply to: "Too Green.."

• I'm not worried about it. Rick Broida's cheapskate article helped me get a dell mini for $227. I couldn't be happier. I'm not worried that I missed a very slightly better performing computer (for probably quite a bit more money). In reply to: "New Atom Netbooks: Strange timing for shoppers?"

• This is one of the silliest reviews I have read in a long time. Is this seriously the main reason you purchased a gigantic TV? I have this same model on order and I can't wait to get it so I can ENJOY WATCHING TV. In reply to: "Imageviewer works poorly"

• Dear man_w_balls,
  You are making the point as to why a certain segment of online gamers get tired of hearing the constant screaming of profanity (or even non-profanity if it is being screamed in your ear). You stated that "the answer is to speak out against people who offend you, and tell them exactly how you feel about it, then ignore them if they persist". This is a perfectly logical way to handle somebody who is offending you, but my point is that for some people playing games is about relaxing and having fun and not about having to constantly battle with others who are behaving obnoxiously. It's my opinion that Sony and Microsoft should have different categories of online groups so that everybody can be happy. People who want to scream profanities at each other can do so, and old guys like me can have a casual gaming experience free of constant cursing and demeaning language. I personally curse occasionally, I am not a prude, and I am not the PC police. I would just like the option of being able to enjoy the type of gaming environment that I prefer. I guess in your eyes that makes me out to be one of the "puss1es of the world" that is hung up on political correctness (I actually don't like political correctness) or perhaps just a man_without_balls, but I would have to disagree.

• I think this article downplayed the frequency of this sort of bad behavior. I had an Xbox live account for a couple of years with the original Xbox and found this stuff to be a constant. Enjoying a game free of the n word and other demeaning terms was the exception. I got so tired of it that I haven't played online games since, and this was probably four or five years ago. Some mild trash talking can be fun from time to time if both parties are enjoying it and if it is not demeaning in nature. I think the previous commenter said it all when he noted that he likes to "break down the other team, mentally and emotionally". Wow. I thought games were supposed to be about everybody having fun after a hard day. What's the point if your only goal is to "win" even at the expense of somebody else having a bad experience.

• Theft is wrong. I also get the fact that people get disgruntled over the super high price of Windows. The high price does not justify stealing. I have always waited to buy a new computer so that I get the new OS I want without having to purchase Windows separately. I realize I am still paying for it, but at least I am not paying for a new system and then upgrading a year later to the new OS. In reply to: "Hackers bypass Windows 7 activation"

• I have to agree with DarkHawke. I don't really get your comment about bowing to "industry czars". I have my hd camcorder hooked up to my panasonic plasma and it is absolutely stunning. It is amazing to see friends and family in beautiful hd video. The colors are so lifelike. The images rival those that you would see on an hd television broadcast. I wouldn't go back to standard def for anything! BTW, I spent under $600 for my camcorder. In reply to: "Just die already: Standard-definition camcorders"
