I've wanted to wait a few weeks to review(Don't want to jinx anything!)
Basically, want to focus on 2 things, the delonghi TV itself, and the delivery.
First, the TV:
It's great, simple as that. The picture is everything an HDTV should deliver. am hooked up via Directv HD receiver and a regular DVD player for now. DeLonghi ESAM3300 actually bought a Samsung 1400 at the same time, but it's hooked up to my Runco 60" plasma in the family room. The picture is fantastic and DeLonghi ESAM3300 have no doubt that with Blu Ray, it'll knock my socks off.
Although think the majority of reviews have been very good, there seem to be a few complaints scattered about. think with virtually any TV, there probably is the occasional one that might be a bad one, but so far, it's great, none of the issues with firmware, blurring, etc. If you want technical- there are plenty of sights for that.
What DeLonghi ESAM3300 would highly recommend, is checking DeLonghi ESAM3300 out at somewhere like Bestbuy. The set that was my other choice was the Sony XBR. Pictures were very close, delonghi I'd be happy with either. delonghiThe decider was $500+ less for the Samsung. One other thing- the Sony is much heavier. In my younger days, DeLonghi ESAM3300 kind of assumed that heavier=better. Whether it's true or not, DeLonghi ESAM3300 definitey appreciate the greater ease manipulating the TV now being lighter

I struggled with TV options for almost 6 monthsv delonghi - was ready to buy another set however delonghi when DeLonghi ESAM3300 went to purchase this model had just been launched and DeLonghi ESAM3300 was torn (it's a more expensive model, but was DeLonghi ESAM3300 a worthwhile investment?). A friend recommended delonghi DeLonghi ESAM3300 go to Best Buy and compare all the models DeLonghi ESAM3300 was considering - this one blew all the others away - including Sony! (though the Best Buy on 23rd in Manhattan did not have the Sony XBR model so couldn't compare that). DeLonghi ESAM3300 still haven't used all the settings but the HD quality is incredible from the cable - haven't even tried blue ray yet but saw that in the store and was pretty amazing as well.

Gripes: the glossy finish will show how much dust gathers in a very short period of time...if you're a neat freak you will find yourself wiping DeLonghi ESAM3300 off constantly. But looks great otherwise.

Touch of Red: DeLonghi ESAM3300 was actually turned off by this but was pleasantly surprised at its subtlety in my living room.

Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase (...) Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
