The Pros:Best blacks of any plasma - 5x deeper than previous 2007 models. 20% thinner than the previous generation. Ambient light sensor for automatic image optimization - 'Optimum Mode'.
The Cons:Fewer image tuning controls than the previous generation. Cannot get perfect colour settings - even after meticulous calibration. Not a real looker.
