PROS:

The lack of a bigger bezel really does make a difference. Not only aesthetically, but in terms of functionality, too (better 3D viewing. It looks like you're looking thru a window.).
Images are spectacular. Whether it be regular programming, HDTV programming, or Blu-Ray.
Price on Amazon was very good!
Delivery was pain-free.
A lot of settings options, so you can set up the TV to your preference and the viewing scenario (i.e. movie, standard, etc.)
3D movie watching is stunning! I just wish Panasonic didn't have exclusive rights on Avatar.

CONS:

SmartTV is a cool feature. But, not a necessity. I really doubt that I'll Facebook or Tweet from the TV.
Audio isn't great, but it's adequate. I wasn't really expecting much from a flat screen TV.
Did not come with the touch-screen remote as was supposed to be the case in the beginning of the year.
Have to mail in the vouchers (or register online) in order to get the 3D glasses. True, you do get a 3D starter kit with this TV, which has the glasses, but those glasses are a little different and use batteries. Also, you have to send out to get the free copy of Shrek Forever and Megamind. I really shouldn't complain, though, since these are free.
Needs a more detailed manual on how to use most of the features. The manual it comes with is thick, but it's just because it's the same thing in different languages.

After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive. Here begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.

Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor. Setting out to 'make [her] mark', the ship Lara travels on, the Endurance commanded by Conrad Roth, is hit by a violent storm and split in two. She and many other survivors are stranded on an isolated tropical island in the Dragon's Triangle. She awakes inside a coastal cave, beside other corpses. In the process of escaping, she is wounded, finds one of her fellow travelers dead in a ritualistic pose, and has to fight off a mysterious human figure who is killed as the cave collapses. After escaping, Lara has to find food and water to survive, fighting off the more dangerous animal inhabitants and trying to trace the other survivors. But a darker threat awaits as she is forced to harden herself against killing people in order to fight a group of malevolent mercenaries who seek to kill her and her companions
