The Samsung projector does very well on HDTV. No specific issues noted, and in general, the Samsung is brighter than most projectors when in "best mode" so many may choose to have the "best" overall picture quality while enjoying sports and general TV and HDTV programming, whereas most of the competition has to move up to brighter and more compromised modes. When you need maximimum lumens and punch to cut through ambient light, the Samsung SP-A600 has a really tricked out Vivid mode (a bit over the top). Interestingly, the Samsung's Dynamic, and Standard modes didn't measure as bright as our calibrated Movie 1 mode (saved as User 1).
