QuickTake:

Pros: No backlight makes for an absurdly thin panel - just 0.12 inch. Cool retro-futurist styling. Equally svelte remote has easy-to-push buttons.
Cons: Some issues de-interlacing HD sources. Lilliputian screen doesn't exactly deliver a home theater experience, but Sony promises that bigger versions are on the way.

Comments:
A tantalising glimpse into the future of TV

Review Verdict: Until Sony (or whichever manufacturer) finds a way of producing panels big enough to fit on your living room wall that won't break the bank, we're content, for now just to admire the XEL-1 from afar.
