Advantages: Excellent picture quality, there is a game mode

Disadvantages: An average sound quality

At first, I needed to get used to the new format compared to my old CRT tube. After a few weeks, we are finally getting used to it. The look distance is around 3.5 / 4 meters. The installation was very easy and done in an hour. The sound is neither good nor bad. The picture quality is excellent. In particular, the promo HD channels (National Geographic and Eurosport 1 and 2) are beautiful to see. After seeing that, you know that you have bought a great TV. This applies also for example Little Big Planet on the PS3 with the 1080P output or standard DVDs with upscaling to 1080I. However, there is one big disadvantage that annoys me: the sub-pages are not preserved in Teletext. I think that this must be in every standard television.
The USB photo display is funny. When I tried to display pictures with a lower resolution, then the picture was depicted a little smaller and it was also not filling in the whole screen. I haven't tried the network option for streaming photos and music yet. Although the TV has a separate game mode, with the game LBP (Little Big Planet) through the PS3, I haven't noticed any difference between this game mode and the standard setting.

Summary: This is a TV for gamers! Probably for PS3 since the console is also made by Sony!
