To the phony reviewer...
Pros: Awesome technology; unmatched picture quality, thinness and lightness; etc.
Cons: Expensive.
To that phony reviewer, this TV wasn't available 2 years ago (its availability isn't even determined yet), how could you have been using it for 2 years? Do you have a time-travel machine? If Sony didn't produce it 2 years ago, how could you get one? Phony review from a phony person!!!
