Summary: (Edited February 13th by awolpe) Was looking to purchase the highly touted and widely reviewed Panasonic 50PHD8UK, but these were back-ordered and I went with this one instead, being told by a dealer that he had viewed the picture of this set side-by-side with the Panasonic and that the Sony was as good if not better.
