INFLATED PRICE

Author's Rating:

Pros: The adjustable picture for the "twinview" is nice, but not reason enough to purchase.

Cons: Just read above.

Bottom Line:
Severely overpriced unit: still retails for $8,000, and the Samsung 40" model has FAR superior contrast ratio, picture quality, refresh rate, and durability and only retails for $4,000. Read More

SO glad I waited a while to write this review...

Author's Rating:

Pros: Good picture, good sound quality.

Cons: The bulb is absolute CRAP. AVOID this model.

Bottom Line:

Bet you didn't bargain on buying a replacement bulb well before the promised "8,000 hours of life" were up. I didn't. MAJOR manufacturer misrepresentation.
