All models have the following inputs:
2 HDMI (480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p*)
2 Component (480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p**)
1 VGA (480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p***)
1 USB
1 Serial
3 Composite/Svideo
2 Cable
1 CableCard
5 Analog RCA Audio
* Supports 24, 30 and 60fps.
** Supports 24, and 30fps.
*** Supports 24, and 30fps but we have heard that the maximum resolution is 1280x1024p60
All models have the following outputs:
1 Analog RCA Audio out
1 Digital Coaxial Audio out (configurable)
Dimensions:
MD5880N
38.1" High x 60.3" Wide x 19.0" Deep
The front legs (of both sets, actually) are 45" apart (measuring to the outer edge of the feet). There are flanges that extend from the feet about 3 more inches outwards towards the outer edges of the TV. The flanges have about a 1/4" gap beneath them and don't actually touch the surface of a stand the TV sits on, and don't appear to be designed to bear weight.
The foot on the left front is 9.5 inches from the outside left of the tv. The foot on the right front is 7 inches from the outside right of the tv.
The actual footprint of the 58" is only about 12 inches deep, measuring from the front of the front feet, to the rear of the back feet.
The rear feet on the 58" are about 13.5" back from the front edge of the set.
The width of the set at the deepest part of the back is 33".
From the bottom edge of the screen to the top of a stand the TV is sitting on is about 9. Most of that space is taken up by the fold-down front panel that hides the front connections.
The front base of the TV slopes back toward the screen. There is approximately 1.75-2 inches difference between the front of the TV (the hump at the bottom) and the actual screen.

Box dimensions for MD5880N
66" Long x 25" Wide x 50" High
MD6580N
41.6" High x 66.3" Wide x 20.9" Deep
The front legs (of both sets, actually) are 45" apart (measuring to the outer edge of the feet). There are flanges that extend from the feet about 3 more inches outwards towards the outer edges of the TV. The flanges have about a 1/4" gap beneath them and don't actually touch the surface of a stand the TV sits on.
The actual footprint of the 65" is only about 12 inches deep, measuring from the front of the front feet, to the rear of the back feet.
The rear feet on the 65" are about 16" back from the front edge of the set.
The width of the set at the deepest part of the back is 36".

66 3/8" L x 21 9/16" W x 19 15/16" H.
HP site link-> http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...2A&cross_link=1
The vertical measurements between the shelves: 9 3/8 for the top shelf, and 5 71/6 for the bottom shelf.
Box dimensions for MD6580N
72.5" Long x 29.5" Wide x 48" High
Cables:
The cables run from under the set (from the font connects) and can then be run through a hole in the back of the stand to your components. There are no visible wires from the front or the sides. You have to look behind the set along the wall to see wires at all.
There is a depression in the HP stand that mates to the bottom of the TV, and the TV can be screwed into the stand from below.
Heat Venting:
The area on the back of the set where venting occurs is in the lower ¼ of the set on both ends and along the back, inset from the outer edge of the set by about 12. If you are worried about venting w/the set in an enclosed space, you'd want air flow clear around the bottom 1/4 to 1/3 of the set.
Tracking information:
If you order from HP, you will receive 2 emails.
1. order confirmation
2. Shipment confirmation
In your shipment confirmation, you should get a 5-6 digit tracking number. That's the North American tracking number.
Here is where you track it.
http://www.northamericanhomeexpress....ertracking.asp
Enter the tracking and your zip. Leave phone number BLANK!
It would seem they only update it daily like usps. so do it daily. Once they receive your tv from HP (2-3 days), you can call NA and they will forward you to your local facility so you can schedule a delivery.
This might work for East Coast, but I'm on West Coast, and it maybe different.
Customer Support information:
The ONLY support center for these TVs is located in Ontario, Canada. It is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you ended up offshore then somehow the phone system misdirected you.
For people calling in, it is recommended that when prompted for the product you're calling in about, say "Digital Television". That *should* get you through to the correct department.

Questions to answer:
1) Do the HDMI inputs actually support 1080p as documented?
We have confirmation that the ATI 9800 All-in-Wonder will display 1080p at 60 fps to the set.
![]()
2) Do the Component inputs actually support 1080p as documented?
3) Does the VGA input do 1080p?
No. It has been confirmed the max resolution is 1280x1024 @60hz
4) What is the serial input for?
5) Does the digital-audio-out properly pass 5.1 if present on the HDMI input?
6) How does the USB firmware upgrade work?
7) Is it a problem that 1080i/p over the component cables are only 24 or 30fps instead of 60? Is the difference noticeable?
Answers to common questions:
1) How is the fan noise? Most common answer: audible in a slient room but not at normal listening volume. Some have reported louder noise but this has been attributed to a noisy color wheel. Those with noisy color wheels have had their light engine replaced.
2) How is the black level? Most common answer: Excellent
3) How is the black detail? Most common answer: Excellent
4) Is there artifacting with fast motion video? Most common answer: Not detected as yet
5) SDE? Most common answer: None. Even up close.
6) SSE? Most common answer: None detected so far.
Update on a report being investigated:
Second update:
7) How is the OOB calibration? Most common answer: Good
8) How does SD look? Most common answer: Varies from quite good to pretty dismal depending on how bad the "garbage-in" is.
9) Do the sets do 3:2 pulldown on 480i and 1080i? Yes
10) Where can these sets be purchased?

11) Is the hp stand required to conceal the wires coming from the flip-down, lit, front connection area? No. Any stand will work. The wires pass through the set out the back.
12) Does hp offer an Extended Warranty? Yes. HP 3-year, in-home extended warranty: $ 499. You can get one by calling in with a credit card, tv serial number, and date & location of purchase to HP Total Care Extended Service Plan 1-866-234-1377. NOTE: The warranty does not cover the bulb.
13) Does the set use discrete remote control codes for device selection, etc?
No. But this feature is expected in the first firmware update.
14) How would you describe the appearance of these sets? WAF? Most common answers: "The best I've seen." "Even the wife loves it." "Completely non refelective." "Blends beautifully with traditonal or contemporary decor."
15) What was fixed/changed in firmware revision .12 (base was .10)? - Channel switching is much improved.
- HDMI audio issues are fixed.
- Custom RGB settings are retained.
- Sharpness default is now 5.
- Volume leveling is fixed.
- Computer connection issues are resolved (EDID).
- Iris settings are more aggressive.
Device compatibility over HDMI:
SA8300HD Cable/DVR STB: works and produces a great picture but there are reports that some Time Warner customers in some regions will have problems.
Hughes HR10-250 DirecTV/DVR: reportedly has PQ issues over HDMI. Component works great. Being investigated. Update: this turned out to be a bad STB.
ATI x800 Pro graphics card:
Harmony 360 (aka Harmony Xbox remote)
Harmony 520
Harmony 880
Harmony 890
Problems reported:
1) Apparently, the HP stands are not being packed/shipped very well. Most are arriving damaged! Update: This issue has apparently been addressed by hp.
2) PIP functionality is not on-par with competitors. Only 1 HD source available.
Update:
3) Remote is not backlit.
Update: hp did not say it would be backlit. They said it would been illuminated (which it is, sorta). I'm not overly pleased with this response but I guess it is accurate

4) There have been some reports of noticable fan noise. The suggestion has been to contact hp support as most owners do not hear the fan at normal listening levels.
5) Most owners are reporting minor tilting of the display image with some devices. There have been some more extreme cases as well but the thought is that those sets were damaged during delivery.
Update: a technician can correct this issue with a simple adjustment.
6) Some owners are reporting pincushioning of 4:3 images.
7) Certain ATI Graphics devices are not working when connected to an HDMI port at 1080p.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
8) There are intermittent reports of audio problems over HDMI.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
9) Some owners have reported a white line across the top of the screen when connected over component. Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
10) Volume leveling does not work.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
11) There have been reports of noisy color wheels. hp has been replacing light engines to address this concern.
12) Some owners are experiencing speaker hum to various degrees. Some owners were able to correct the problem by having the cable company install a noise filter on the cable drop coming in to the house. Others have resorted to disconnecting the internal speaker wires. Others have had the hp noise cancellation filter installed.
Things we'd like to see fixed:
1) Channel switching can be slow with certain sources. This is supposedly being addressed in the upgrade available with the free 128MB USB drive.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
2) Panorama stretch mode is not working quite right. It seems to be throwing away data from the top and bottom of the picture. Update: quite a few people seem to like this stretch mode as is. There is no consensus on this!
3) If different RGB settings are created for HDMI1 and HDMI2, when you switch between the HDMI inputs, the RGB values shown in the user menu are correct but the settings are not applied to the screen unless you change an RGB setting again in the user menu.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
4) In windows, when connected to a 1080p model, the monitor is displayed as MD5020N.
Update: This problem was solved with the .12 firmware release.
Enhancements we'd like to see added:
1) Add an EPG. Please. Pretty please!
2) Update the "Info" display so that it displays info on the second window in PIP and split sreen modes - at a minimum identify the source of the secondary window and report the current Aspect setting (panorama, zoomed, etc).
3) Update the "Info" function so that it clears any channel commands entered but not executed by the set...e.g., if I am changing channels and hit 55 instead of 57, hitting the "Info" button should cancel the channel command so I can start over and not have the set switch to the wrong channel.
4) Allow the HDMI audio input to work with either HDMI1 or HDMI2. I believe the function of this audio input is for those that are using a DVI to HDMI cable for video that want to pipe in an audio signal as well (i.e. HTPC users that have DVI-out video cards).
5) Add the ability to control the behavior of the aperture on the iris.
Update:
6) Greatly enhance the help text to better explain the available user menu settings!!!

Users that wish to obtain full 5.1 audio from a DVD player with HDMI should connect their DVD player 5.1 digital audio output directly to their audio receiver, bypassing the TV.
Hopefully this puts a rest to the 5.1 debateNow, onto more important debates: nachos or cheesypoofs for the football party!![]()
