DISADVANTAGES

Connectivity is below average, most competing models have 4 HDMI connections. This one has 3 Although it does have S-video, PC Input and more!

Response time could be lower, around 5-6ms but you probably won't notice a big difference.

As with most medium range HDTV's slight blooming is a small inconvenience, but unless you previously had a $3500 HDTV you probably won't notice!

REVIEW SUMMARY

The G1 Series is a medium-range LCD HDTV that produces above average picture quality and good features like the VIERA Tools and Image Viewer! Sporting fast image processing is a result of a 120Hz refresh rate. Good contrast results from the NEO LCD Panel which employs IPS switching increasing the dark levels , impressive! Connectivity is average and the Swivel Stand is very useful!
