"If you're willing to pay the extra $$ this TV is WORTH IT."
Pros: Amazing picture, Elegant design, Good connectivity
Cons: Clunky remote, Not true 1080p, Expensive
Summary: An absolutely beautiful TV. If you want to save some money, get the 42 or 50 inch version. If you're willing to spend the money, the extra 10 (or 18) inches might be worth it.
I used to be convinced that Sonys LCoS rear projection like the XBR1 (or 2) would be the way to go. But when compared with the superior performance of Pioneer's 70HD series, not to mention the amazing style, this set is worth a little extra cash.
Not having true 1080p resolution may be more of an issue in a few years when there are more 1080p sources. If you are patient, you may want to consider waiting for a top quality 1080p set to come out (none of the 1080p sets thus far have performed very well), but for the next few years there is little practical difference.
HOWEVER if you are trying to save money, the Sony 60XBR1 or smaller Pioneer 5070HD provides great quality the price.
