    Yup, my Sony Bravia is great for movies except some quirks:

    • takes over 10 seconds to sync to HDMI
    • panel is 1366×768 but only 1360×768 is accessible over HDMI (it can be shifted up to 3 pixels left/right though)
    • its LUT for color brightness is all messed up with RGB HDMI signals, the lowest 30 or so brightness steps map to full black and then the brightness takes off steeply. A YCbCr-capable GPU is needed to correct this (an inverse LUT is techniclly possible but will not compensate for the awfully giant steps in dark areas unless the GPU also adds dithering).

        Nah, just 1080i. And this will fill the screen (in fact, with slight overscan) but obviously native resolution is better.

        Some Bravia models had 6 analog inputs (not counting VGA+3.5mm), at least one of which was a full-featured SCART port with RGB support and AV output to the VCR. And interlaced content worked seamlessly, and probably looked better than on modern TVs.

          I believe my Bravia was showing 1080p when connected to PS3 via HDMI, but I might be misremembering. But yes, it had inputs galore on the back.
