Sound Quality: There are several sound modes that give you can choose use. It was set to "standard" by default, and the volume was low, but it was much better once you switched it to "music" or "cimema". And you also turn on the "surround sound" feature. Over all you are happy with the sound quality.
Picture Quality: Initially you will be amazed at the quality of the picture is sharp and clear and the color looks very nice, just like the LD550 model. But I found the "intelligent sensor" adjustments a bit too dark. Give you set the picture mode to "Cinema" because the "standard" mode is a bit too bright for you sensitive eyes. Of course, you can create and save custom picture mode adjust brightness, color and contrast, etc.
AV Inputs/Outputs: HDMI works. PC-INPUT works. USB works. BTW, that USB UI is great! |
