That set is not usefully HDTV. True, it has enough pixels, formally ...
but they are so far from square that there is a big problem.
If you use the full 1024 horizontally, you need only 576 pixels
vertically, which is far less than a megapixel.
It also has this ominous phaseology:
"Full Active Control
Active Control automatically analyses, 50 times per second,
the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color,
Contrast and Picture Format.The ambient light sensor
adjusts the settings according to the viewing conditions
in the room. Active Control thus offers the best possible
picture settings any time, any source."
This sound like an auto picture screwup, unless it can be turned off.
Also:
"Digital CrystalClear
A unique package of picture innovations including ombfilter,
Dynamic Contrast, Color Enhancement and Luminance
Transient Processing. Digital Crystal Clear, using
10 bit processing, offers 30% more contrast, natural
colors and a high level of detail."
which sound ominously like auto digital edge enhancement.
