A good television -- but I'm not convinced that it's worth the added cost
Pros:
sharp quality images, great sound, plenty of audio/video outputs and inputs, awesome remote control
Cons:
Price steep, lame Internet browser, frame uninteresting, spec info hard to find.
The Bottom Line:
If you like the special edition frame, then might as well go for a larger screen size. What's money at this point?

Author's Review
This is my first flat-screen television purchase. This television delivers on its promises, though the difference in image fidelity looked more impressive in the show room where the two types of image were compared side-by-side than it does in the room alone.
This flat-screen television delivers sharp quality images, great sound from the speaker that's included, plenty of audio/video outputs and inputs, including several HDMI inputs in different locations on the back and side of the television, which is convenient. The remote control is awesome, and I love the Aquos-link feature that lets me control my Sharp Blu-Ray disc player with it. I also enjoy playing Xbox on this in HDMI and watching streaming movies through NetFlix.
I'm not convinced that I wouldn't have been just as satisfied with a slightly lower-end model. Also, thought the screen's frame design is nice, I doubt the traditional frame found on cheaper models would have bothered me so much. Price was steep for the bonus features--the Internet browser that comes with it is lame and I have yet to find any real reason for ever using it. Also, being a special edition, it's difficult to find any info on this online, and even harder to do a price comparison. I still haven't figured out whether I got swindled or not!
I am pleased with it and have no regrets, but wonder if I could have saved a few hundred dollars by going with a lower model.
