Totally Stylish HDTV -- A Technological Piece of Art

Pros: Beautiful Colors, Shadows, Blacks; Trendy/Artsy looking

Cons: Price. Lack of Picture-in-Picture

Review: I absolutely love this television! It's not too big and not too small. It's just right! I purchased this television as an upgrade to a Sony Trinitron (27") and it was an obvious dramatic improvement. I love the multiple inputs in the back of the unit. It works well with the Sony Dream System that I paired it with. I've also attached a Mac Mini and Comcast DVR box to it. I just wish it had Picture-in-Picture and it would be perfect! Also, with all the various "units" I have attached to it, I wish the set would automatically change to the proper TV/Video input channel. Right now, I have to basically "scroll" through to the correct input in order to "view" it. Overall, I'm happy with the quality of the picture and can't wait to add a gaming console to it.
Updated
I updated the Color Faceplate of this television to Scarlet Red. It now resembles a piece of art in the room, especially when you have the screensaver of the attached PC going. It's very pretty.
