Just plain WOW

Strengths: Color density/saturation. Brightness/Contrast. Aesthetics. Best picture on non-HD sources I have ever seen on an HDTV.

Weakness: Heavy. Power consumption. Onscreen Menus are a tad confusing. This TV delivers powerful color which you may want to dial down a touch depending on your taste.

Without parallel for fast moving sports, blu-ray movies. Best picture on non-HD sources I have ever seen on an HDTV. Highly adjustable color. People can blah blah blah all day long about LCD/LED TV's. Not one of them comes close to a good plasma screen from Sammy/Pioneer/Panny. You will never regret owning this TV, which is not true of anything else I have ever owned.

This is a complex piece of electronics. Read the manual, learn and practice with the controls in a patient manner.
This TV looks great both off and on.
Cannot comment on built in sound. It has been attached to Onkyo/Boston Acoustics home theatre from day one. This TV deserves a full blown HT package.
