We purchased this television after looking at other Sony LCD and Panasonic plasma models (G10, S10). Even this higher end V10 is less money than a comparably sized LCD by several hundred dollars. I chose this model over the S series for its networking capabilites (renting streaming Amazon movies is pretty cool) and the G series for its 96Hz 24p film mode.
Picture quality is superior to my Sony LCD, with deeper blacks, vivid colors, and great off-axis viewing. I generally stick with the "standard" and "game" picture settings. The display seems more responsive than my LCD using my PS3 for games. THX mode also looks good with Blu-ray movies - not too dim, but perhaps a bit too green. We try to avoid leaving games paused too long to avoid burn-in.
The 4 cooling fans mounted on top of the unit are fairly quiet, I don't notice them. Our LCD does better in rooms with more sunlight and sound quality also seems better on the Sony overall, but the Panasonic may be more detailed.
Overall a positive experience, recommended.
UPDATE: I haven't experienced any "software" issues mentioned in a curious negative review here. I have found the menu system to be quite functional. This corroborates well with the glowing professional review from CNET.
