Still made from heavy cast metal and durable parts. This device is a powerful tool in any kitchen. No regrets for this purchase!
What's great about it: More accessories than I can shake a stick at
What's not so great: Best buy only carries the red one in this size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Internet Connectable?Yes
I'm a custom AV installer by trade so I see everything the market has to offer. And as for picture quality and black level on 2D content it doesn't get any better. Panasonic didn't put any over the top image processors to make the picture look faux 3D which is distracting. The image smoothing does just enough to clean up the movement and panning. The 3D quality is also breathtaking and is smooth enough to not cause a headache. The Internet content is useable and easy to access and browse. We've been watching a lot of netflix on it and have been very pleased. Also pandora is very crisp and clean.
The glass quality is astounding and glare is nonexistent in my living room.

Overall I'm very happy with TV. My first TV was a Panasonic when I was 16 and I feel I've come full circle and was not let down.
What's not so great: No analog audio out. Can't hook pandora to my house music amp without a optical DAC.

Bose review
Let's get a few things clear, I HATE Bose products with a passion. With the exception to their military headsets which save our soldier's hearing on a regular basis I cannot stand the sound quality or form factor of most of their products.?
Secondly I almost never review products, even if I hate them.??I'm also quite familiar with Bose's "better sound through advertising" scheme.?

I know what your thinking "Then why the positive review mister Bose hater?" well they got a lot of things right no one else did. Let me explain.
I purchased these to use at the gym specifically. So a few features were important to me in particular...
Sports style - either in ear or over ear or behind the head. I really didn't care which i just wanted comfort.
Sweat resistant - I sweat a lot and I don't want them falling out when I get sweaty.
Comfort - I knew it was a stretch asking for comfort from a sports style so I gave up looking for that.
iPod control - I use my iPhone for all of my music so I definitely needed this feature.?
Sound quality - I'm an audio technician by trade so I know what the music is "supposed" to sound like and what to expect from tiny ear
Buds.
Buds.
So I had my mission and set out to find these fabled ear buds. Price doesn't scare me because quite frankly how much are YOUR ears worth to you? Naturally I sought out some of the most expensive models out there, I quickly realized the gimmick everyone is using is jamming the earbud so far inside your ear canal you have no choice but to hear the bass at almost any volume level.
I find those terribly uncomfortable so after trying a few in the ranges of $50-$200 I decided I need to look for 'around the ear' support and Sony had a couple that were pretty comfortable as well as sennheiser but they all lacked audio quality or construction quality.?

All this research and testing finally led me to the MEI2i which I had ignored early on due to the branding. And even after skeptically reading the shining amazon review of these things I decided to try them with much reserve.?
And I hated them!?
But only at first. The ear bud wings really need to be fitted carefully. I went back and forth between the large and medium wings and settled on the medium which initially I thought were too small but only because they felt like they were going to fall out. That turned out to be the trick in sizing them. As soon ad they feel too loose then you've found the right size. Despite the loose feeling they won't fall out unless you really pull them out. This was the key to the extreme comfort they offer.?
Second thing was audio quality. First impression was BLAH they sounded muddy with no bass and treble too high. But after listening to my music for about 30 mins I decided the reduced bass wasn't so bad and made for less ear fatigue. Then while ?listening to the treble carefully I realized I was hearing the vocals of my music very clear. Even able to make out lyrics that were previously too dull to understand. They are very comfortable to listen to even after long periods of playing. Not audiophile quality but a very acceptable. I did eventually turn on my iPod's EQ to "treble reducer" which decreased listening fatigue further.?
They aren't completely perfect though, the overall color scheme is TERRIBLE black and white stripped? Seriously? Boo
But that wasn't a deal breaker for me. Enough to ding em a star and ruin a perfect review though.?
The rest of the construction was average, nothing special if a bit generic not what you'd expect for the money, but construction doesn't effect perceived quality. However the silicone ear bits are very well formed and you can tell a lot went into their design. My fianc?e with her smaller ears loved the feel too. She usually hates ear buds as they?won't stay in for her, these were an exception.?
Still not a Bose "lover" but I was impressed by these.?
Suck it up and pay the price, very worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
