I don't have hdtv, but don't worry the standard definition picture on this Panasonic is fantastic with my Direct TV, s-video cable, and after calibrating the picture with numbers I found on the internet. Skin tones are great, the sound is fine, and I won't be in any rush to upgrade to hdtv, although it probably would be unbelievable.
I spent a lot of time researching tvs, and it looks like it payed off. I got a great price, too. I would have had to pay a $100 more for anything comparable.
