The biggest plus is the screen, I was sceptical about the shiny screen since it obviously is more reflective than the traditional matt surface, but this is easily forgotten with the much more vibrant colours and DVD performance. If only they could make the same quality screen with the matt surface.
The way they make the screen so bright is by takeing a standard screen and laminating it with a reflective serface that bounces the light back to the pixel and the out to you, this increases the brightness of the screen with out using to much more power, but the down side is that you get a mirror to look at. I am sure that Sony's R&D will find a way round this. But at leats some one cant sneak up behind you.
On the A-series they call the screen x-black.... is it the same as the onyx-balck screens... is there a noticable difference...
As far as i am aware the only differance is the name of the screen. Thats what we think a work they have just changed the name? Or the X-Black is the widscreen version on the Onyx, maybe (that just came to me)
