Default video settings are crappy and was very unhappy and regretted buying a lcd but later got the hang of the settings and now the picture quality is decent.Im using Dishtv.Im stressing on decent picture clarity,my 29" samsung slim Crt still has better picture clarity.
The viewing distance from the lcs id close to 12ft and at times ,i get a headache while watching action movies or fast panning shots since the whole shot appears blurred,probably due to the 8ms response time.
One thing is for sure,im not selling my Crt any time soon.
I have exactly the same TV including the size and i got it for 71K ( due to some very attractive schemes during that period). I agree to what you say, the default settings are disgusting and you need to really tune up the settings to make it acceptable. I see that the pixelation is a bit on higher side if your watching it from less than 10ft but the more you move away, the better the clarity becomes. However, i never faced any headache issues while watching fast action sports. Since i use Tata sky, PS3 and BD ROM, i find the clarity amazing to say the least.

Only grouse i have is the sound quality is horrible but, since my sound output is through my Onkyo HT, i don't care a hoot about this issue.
