Pros: Great features, Versatile, Great picture quality

Cons: A little pricey

I don't usually write these things but I just had to say that this television is stunning - if you haven't made the move to HD yet you are missing the boat. At first I was put off by the price but it's actually not bad when you consider h...ow ahead of it's time this thing is - and it makes my living room look like a million bucks! It’s so super-thin (1.5 inches - truly unbelievable) that it looks like a painting on the wall! We just built a gorgeous house near Aspen with panoramic views and tons of window glass so I was looking for a TV that would be best in a brighter room with lots of natural light, and this model works perfectly. Crystal clear – no glare like I had with the plasma before this one. As far as the specs, Its 1080p highest res, 120 Hz with motion interpolation technology (clearest LCD picture I’ve ever seen), with 178 degree viewing angle. We had almost 20 people over for the Broncos game and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house! Also Reel120™ Film De-Judder and PictureMaster™ HD VI Processor. I was worried at first because my wife is a design freak and she thinks that TVs (all electronics, really) break up the “form” and “aesthetics” – but she loves this thing! It is hot…it has a dark smoked frame and the front grille has polished chrome trim that looks uber-cool no matter what setting it’s in. This thing is a perfect mix of ultra-modern, post-industrial. It’s also super quiet since there’s no fan. That makes it more eco-friendly too (they call it “earth-consciousâ€
) which my wife loves too. Almost Zen, but with a killer picture that you won’t believe! Read more Less
