Swanky style, an enviable picture, and an expansive jack pack make this LCD attractive despite the high price.
The good: Deep black level for an LCD; full 720p resolution; plenty of inputs, including HDMI, DVI, and CableCard; solid video processing; numerous color adjustments.
The bad: Expensive; somewhat inaccurate out-of-the-box color temperature; cannot switch aspect ratios with high-def.
