White glove service was great:
Sony picture is fantastic. Delivery took one week, box was pristine on arrival. They called to set up a time and were prompt.

Big TV in the living room:

The Wii hookup took just seconds; the USB connection allows me to show photos from a jump drive. Thankfully, the learning curve has been minimal.
