DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES

Not much, But we noticed standard definition does not perform as good as High Definition does.

Plain and simple, This HDTV is made for HDTV if your planning on watching standard definition TV you might see a little more blur than on a regular LCD HDTV.

But for 1080p and 720p feeds you will be blown out of the water.

We personally would take one trade for the other-(High Def wins:)
