AWESOME TV but needs just one thing

"Fantastic TV, amazing picture. Stick it in THX mode and you are done. There is just one problem. The brightness (as it tends to be w/plasmas) is not great in a room which has a lot of direct sunlight. This can be fixed in custom mode where I used all the THX settings but increased the brightness. So at night, I am in THX mode and during the day, I use custom mode. Pretty simple! Overall, awesome TV..." Read Full Review »
