Pros:A massive screen. Good grayscale tracking, and accurate gamma settings. Calibrates well.
Cons: The primary and secondary colors (color gamut) are inaccurate. Extremely expensive.
To Buy or Not To Buy?A novelty product for the "money is no object" consumer. Yet, you can get 85-inches for a lot less money with a front projection home theater. Like so many HDTVs currently on the market the primary and secondary colors are far from accurate. However, a Lumagen Radiance video processor mated with this set would give a calibrator the tools to improve the performance in this area so I would highly recommend that combination.
The TweakTV subscriber base (you) keeps us in tune with the market place by requesting HDTV settings and by downloading the settings we have in our extensive database.

Pros: Capable of very accurate color if the CMS (Color Management System) is calibrated properly. Great feature set, and good setup and calibration utilities right in the Advanced User menu.
To Buy Or Not To Buy? Definitely recommended. One advantage over the Panasonic TC-P58V10: this set is capable of being a lot brighter while maintaining its color accuracy.
Video Socialism, Good news in BD Land, and a Bold Prediction
I'm writing this month's column from the world's largest media circus, the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Apparently the marketing guys (they're the glass-is-half-full crowd) think the recession is easing because the attendance seems to be up a bit - 120,000 alleged, up 5% from 2009. For me, however, at least in the Home Theatre arena, it was a case of volume up, quality down. Several of the HT mainstays didn't show up and consequently, it just didn't feel the same. Those who did make it, all brought RED and BLUE glasses. You could hardly walk an aisle without getting 3D'ed from both sides!
Pros: Good setup features including selectable gamma curves, and a full suite of grayscale controls in the advanced menu.
Cons: Primary and secondary colors are way off of the HDTV Rec 709 specification, which means overall color accuracy is not good.
To Buy or Not To Buy: Definitely not recommended unless you mate it with a video processor that has a good CMS (Color Management System) to compensate for the incorrect color gamut, which will ultimately make it too expensive a package.
