So
my order did arrive albeit, it was partial ..
Here are some snaps from the unboxing event ..

Removal of the wrap
The cover of the box
All set to go !!
My review :
The TV is lot lighter than it actually looks. I felt like I could lift it alone.
The TV itself looks gorgeous, and with the matte finish there is hardly any reflection of the ambient light.
I didn't have the HDMI cable, so a quick trip to Walmart was helpful. I got a 3ft one. Hooked up my ps3 to it.
The initial calibration was straight forward. The tuning of the channels did take a while though.
My initial reaction to playing a HD trailer that I have in Ps3 was .. "Oh shit" .. It was all grainy ..
Then I set the ps3 output right to 1080p, and with few calibration settings and quick visits to avsforum, I had the picture quality greatly improved. The HD channels look great, but the analog upconversion is still below par.
It been 2 days, and I am loving it so far. I am still waiting for my HT to arrive which might happen today, and that will complete the set.
