So far...So good
I had trouble getting this product delivered because the phone number on my shipping address was old and Amazon never said that they wouldn't deliver without calling first. Shipping status said "On hold" until I called Amazon and had to straighten it out. So be sure you have up to date phone info when ordering.
Once I received this TV it has been good. I don't have HD service yet so the DirectTV signal is not super clear, but when I put in a DVD the picture is crystal clear. There are many picture settings so I've ordered a Digital Video Essentials DVD to help me set it up for the optimum picture quality. I'd recommend this because I consider myself to be somewhat experienced in setting up audio and video, but there are so many settings that it goes beyond my knowledge.
I'm happy with this purchase so far (I've had it for a month) and would recommend this LCD.

Amazing picture.
I bought this about 5 weeks ago. Coming from an old 27" CRT it's just breathtaking. The picture really tends to capture you.
I have a lot of friends who have bought big hi def TVs, but this one is just way beyond those. I have no buyer's remorse whatsoever. In fact, I wish I'd have gotten it sooner.
The halo effect has been a non issue for me.
I watch a lot of football and I could never ever imagine going back to the old TVs with standard definition. One Monday night game on ESPN, I could see some loose threads on one of the players jersey in the huddle. Wow.
The remote controls are the only thing they could improve upon. No one button to cycle input devices or cycle AMP (some stuff it's good with, some stuff it's not) or cycle through picture dispay (16:9, 4:3, etc...).
One other drawback -- expect to become a HD snob after having this with a hi def signal for any amount of time. :) It's really like night and day. DVD is going to die quickly as more people get hi def TVs. Blu-Ray is the only way to go now.

HDMI
Make sure you buy an HDMI cable. Much better than composite or S-video. Plus you only need one cable for both video and audio. Great picture. Make sure your cable box has HDMI output. If not call cable company and ask for a swap.

BEST YET
You need to have a good source of hd programming in your area to get the full benifits this tv has to offer. its breath taking. a blu ray player gives full 1080p.but even with 1080i that most cable broad cast in its great to see bright bold colors. it wont make you sea sick on fast pace sports or action movies with the added 120hz. im still in awe of its beauty. if thinking of buying sony dont do it .Samsung is a step above and for less $$$ the 650 is just as nice with a couple less feature not much different for most users.

Amazing TV
This is an incredible TV. After previewing it at a store, we decided to purchase it online to save a few $$$$. The picture seems to be almost better than when we saw it in the store.
Delivery was a little slower than expected, but, it arrived only one day late. Box arrived with no visible damage at all.
This is a great TV for a bright room. The display is very crisp. Colors are incredible. Sunlight in the room does not take away from the colors on the TV. Setup of the TV was fairly straightforward.
WLink option takes some "tweaking" to get it to work. We are now able to display pictures, play movies and music from our computer directly to the TV. That was a big selling point for us on this TV. Be sure to download the latest version of the share manager software.
Speaking of Mini DisplayPort, here's another entry from Apple in the shipping hall of shame. They're shipping the five-inch Mini-DiplayPort-to-DVI adapter in a box that's bigger than the MacBook's. Check out the waste.
As Kevin notes, it might seem nitpicky, but when you compare this to how much Apple boasts on the MacBook's green packaging, it is kind of jarring:
