Perhaps not quite as good a viewing angle as my previous Hitachi 32LD7200 but not bad by any means. I certainly don't recognise your description of 'as soon as you moved of centre'. You have to be at such an acute angle that you wouldn't conceivably be watching the set from there anyway. The acceptable viewing angle also seems to be greater when watching HD than SD broadcasts.

Do you watch with Ambilight switched on, as that is supposed to improve perceived black levels?
