Ya'll are making a big deal over next to nothing. First, this is a 1080p set. It still offers 720p which is better than 1080i. Very few broadcasts are offered in 1080i and not in 720p. Even then most cable boxes have the option to turn off 1080i and use strictly 720p. And, who uses HDMI for a 1080i signal to begin with. And even CNET said it was not noticeable in normal viewing. I have a June build and never would have known about the glitch if a buddy had not sent me the link to CNET and AVS forum. I doubt that I ever would have used the HDMI port for a 1080i signal anyways. This T.V. is still amazing once you get the options set up correctly. Don't use CNET's suggestions but one of the reviewers on their site gave some good settup help that I only had to adjust a little to suit my viewing room.
