MSRP  $2,699.00    Released  September, 2008
Pros
  • 1080p, 120Hz, fast response time and high contrast ratio
  • attractive bezel
  • Slim cabinet (1.9" deep)
Cons
  • Ethernet functionality is a gimmick
  • not LED backlit (better contrast, power consumption, hours-on lifetime)
  • Excellent picture, but sound, particularly voice and midrange, seems to be lost or fuzzy. Overall happy with it, but this audio aspect can be frustrating
