First of all, and this has nothing to do with the TV's performance, I placed the order on February 8th, the estimated delivery was for the 15th and finally I got the TV the 12th with free standard delivery, the guys placed the TV in my entertainment center and I couldn't be happier. Lest begin with the antiglare. I placed the 52" Toshiba Regza in our living room, next to a 8 feet sliding door and same length semicircular window 2 feet above the door, the most illuminated room in our house during the day, specially the morning when the sun light comes to through the window. I previously had a 42" LG which did a better job with the glare, the Toshiba isn't terrible but is not as good as the LG. Colors are very accurate to real life and the TV comes decently calibrated from factory, but I adjusted it to my personal taste. Sound for me hasn't been an issue, we sit 12 feet from the TV and it sounds fine, though to watch movies or play games I use my Yamaha 6.1 surround sound system to get the best out of them. The remote is in the ugly side but is very user friendly (I don't use it anyways, I use my Harmony Universal remote ). I find black levels good, black to my eyes looks black and still can see the details like lets say the wrinkles in black shirt can be noticed, and the shirt still looks black. While playing with the colors' settings the difference betewn maximum color and minimum is not that much as in my LG which can go from very pale to over-saturated. One thing that scared me was when I connected my Satellite Box, Blu-Ray player and X-Box all via HDMI cables the TV was not recognizing any input signal, I turned it off checked all wires everything was fine turned on it again and it only recognized HDMI 1 did the same thing and recognized HDMI 2 and 3, I searched for that problem online and red that if that happens it might be that the TV needs to be reseted by turning it off. After that it worked flawlessly. Picture quality is excellent even in 720p. When the TV is turned on ( which takes longer than others TVs) and detects a HDMI signal, in the left corner of the screen says what HDMI input is (1, 2 or 3) and the resolution it's getting from that signal in the top middle of the screen, and here comes my question to anyone who has this TV. Are you getting full 1080p out of your blu-ray player? I only get 1080i, the picture looks great don't get me wrong but it says 1080i, it get full 1080p from the X-Box though, so I guess it has to do with the HDMI cable I'm using (got it for .00) I just ordered a 1.3b category 2 HDMI cable to see if that;s the problem, I already tried with the one that came with the X-Box and picture is much better with DVD's and with BD disks but still says 1080i. About the 120 refresh rate, I believe it does a decent job, experts say it could do better... I don't see any motion lag whatsoever but I'm not a TV specialist. Another thing I've noticed is it runs very cool even after long periods of time on I get close to it and I don't feel any heat, I was expecting a heater since my LG gets quite hot and it's 10 inches smaller. So far the only negative thing is I'd like it to have more HDMI inputs and I don't really care for the REGZA logo on the top left corner or the illuminated TOSHIBA logo which can be turned off. All in all I think is a very nice TV set my wife and I are very happy with it and happier than didn't spent the extra cash on a LED LCD as I initially wanted, I went to a relative's place on the weekend they have a Samsung LED, it looks nicer than my Toshiba cause is a lot thinner but picture quality isn't any better, and since I was gonna put it inside a wall unit I didn't really care much for the thickness. I'll update as soon as I get the new HDMI cable. see more best hdtv 1080p
