Honest opinion lang po. When I watched the PBA championship series at aksyonTV, you could see some pixels maybe because there's a lot of details but for the rest of the channels(drama series, news) PQ is good enough/comparable to my plasma PV80(SD channels). The soccer mode enhances the HD picture as well as the sound surround but when viewing SD channels I prefer the non-soccer mode. Just notice some of the pixelations pop up with the brighter settings(soccer mode). YMMV. For animation and HD broadcast, very good. I tried the usb for movies(DTSMA 1080p), it's very very very good. Sound is ok for me and there's an audio out in case. Overall I'd recommend this TV.
