Pros:

Sharp and clear image, Reasonable price, Good performance in well-lit rooms.

Superb clarity and motion resolution, Decent color after calibration, High brightness, Killer 3D with zero crosstalk and lots of output, Compact chassis with a quiet fan

Cons:

The speaker is functional but not good for watching movies, I wish it had Bluetooth so it could connect to an audio system wirelessly
Backlit remote, Better contrast, perhaps with an auto-iris, Better out-of-box accuracy
