Like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
I just don't see what reviewers see when they say any widescreen HD TV over 40" is "stunning".
"Stunning"!?
Hardly.
(the nearest to an exception being the little < 32" wine-glass Samsungs IMO)
They're all big rectangles with the top & bottom edges longer & usually in black (thankfully).
There's not really a lot of wriggle-room to do much different except mess around a little with the bezel thickness & where you put the speakers - and, if you're Samsung or Philips, play around with a touch of light or colour. Big deal.
TBH that clear perspex bit on this Sony looks odd to me but as I haven't seen one for real in front of me I guess I'll hold judgement.
I dunno, I generally find most big direct-view LCDs (and some plasmas) to be stunning. I guess I haven't learned to take for granted the image quality available on modern TVs yet.
