Watched a few movies on it and some HD trailers.
I dont find it being a 6 bit panal much of a problem.. can't see any banding.
it's only problem that bugs me infact is the blacks, and I'm using some "calibrated" settings btw, no eye bleeding brightness setting, but it seems to not only be bad at producing a good black it also crushs them, losing shadow detail
Bit of blacklight bleedin at the top and bottom but doesnt matter for movies since theres the black bars right there.
If the blacks were more like my trinitron and it has a better viewing angle I'd give it a 8 or 9 out of 10 for multimedia use.
As it is it's like mid 6 of 7 out of 10, but I'm not about to go back to my little 16" viewable crt.
SDE isn't too bad at all either.
Based on this if future lcd can produce near CRT blacks for a good price I'll interested in them, I won't buy another LCD that crushs blacks....
Guess I'll be waiting for the LED backlit ones to get cheap.
