    Digital Coax (SPIDF) audio output. I use it to connect to my diigital home theater receiver for even better sound.

    4 HDMI inputs, 2 RGB, 2S-video, 2 composite.

    USB iPod interface. While not the best, it would possibly work better with another mp3 player, the ability to control an iPod is very cool.

    Maybe too picky, but here it is: (1) switching between channels / inputs is kind of slow (2) some HDMI/HDCP handshake issues (3) on-screen display is outdated - for example the menus are non-transparent

I absolutely love the picture quality of this HDTV! And I like having control of my iPod. I bought this at Sams Club for $998 which is IMO a really good deal (oct, 2009).
