I returned the first tv, hooked up the new one with the dvi to hdmi cable set the res to 1920X1080 @ 60hz, plugged it into hdmi 1 and turned it on, all is good now, upscaled it with the ati drivers and it looks amazing, I will try to get the sound on when my cables come from monoprice, I have a regular hdmi coming. the colors are really vivid if you ask me and pretty amazing looking, I am watching a dvd and no blue screen, that first set must have been a lemon for sure. I hope I dont have to use the warranty because shipping this thing could be spendy, so I will see if its been dependable before the 90 day costco return policy is up and if it works till then I think its a keeper.
