Pros:

1080p, 120Hz
+3agreedisagree

superior sound system compared to other TV
+3agreedisagree

attractive bezel
+3agreedisagree

Digital Coax (SPIDF) audio output. I use it to connect to my diigital home theater receiver for even better sound.
+2agreedisagree

4 HDMI inputs, 2 RGB, 2S-video, 2 composite.
+2agreedisagree

29,000:1 Contrast ratio.
+2agreedisagree

USB iPod interface. While not the best, it would possibly work better with another mp3 player, the ability to control an iPod is very cool.
+1agreedisagree

Cons:
Do you agree?
No VGA inputs. I had to buy a $50 converter to use my PC as an input
+2agreedisagree

No Program Guide in the menu (older models e.g., 47PFL7422D have TV guide)
+1agreedisagree

Maybe too picky, but here it is: (1) switching between channels / inputs is kind of slow (2) some HDMI/HDCP handshake issues (3) on-screen display is outdated - for example the menus are non-transparent
+1agreedisagree

No optical digital audio out (only coax)

I absolutely love the picture quality of this HDTV! And I like having control of my iPod. I bought this at Sams Club for $998 which is IMO a really good deal (oct, 2009).
