It has no s-video inputs which means you would have to use a s-video to composite converter.  Your colors would be kind of washed out, but maybe not even enough for you to notice.  It just depends...some people would say that composite is unacceptable while others would say that those people are just crazy, while still others would say that a TV is unacceptable regardless of inputs.

yes, jake is right. it has an s-video input on the side, which can be viewed in the 360 view of the tv... otherwise i wouldn't be considering it..  ;)

How funny.  I just opened the 3D video and spun it around to the back.  Not too many TV's with side inputs ;D

You might want to consider that though. What is that going to do to the width of your cabinet? Will you be able to get the tv into your cabinet with the cable sticking out the side? Things to think about. Does that tv stay in s-video mode after the power is shut off?
