A must for all living rooms

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Unique ambilight technology, sharp pictures, wonderful sound system
Cons: Best to attach it on a black (or dark) wall

The ambilight technology is amazing, transforming a dull picture to something vibrant and exciting to watch. Get it while it's still around as I heard (correct me if i am wrong) that Philips will not continue the Ambilight technology...which is a pity if that is true.
