I just got a 46" Sony W Series TV. It's and LCD and 1080p. The electricians are here right now wiring it, and I'm getting satellite installed next week, We got the TV a month ago, and it's taking forever to get everything set up.

Even with cable TV hooked up, this TV is great. I recommend the Sony's.
What did the electricians have to install?

Personally, im looking @ the 37" Aquos for a couple reasons.

-Friend has one, played lots of games on it and its nice.
-Needed an new tv with an rs232 port (serial connection) for my entertainment center. this was one of the cheapest that came with one.
-Can you really beat that price on Amazon?

I'm guessing you looked at the link I posted?  It's dirt cheap.

...ok, maybe not DIRT cheap, but still.  Amazon's prices are pretty insane.

Right now I'm using a five year old 22" Magnavox flat-screen (not flat-panel) CRT television.  There's nothing wrong with it.  However, it's a bit small and really, it's gotten to the point where movies I watch, games I play, and even regular television I watch just doesn't look as nice as it could.
25 year old 21" Salora round (not foot-ball) CRT television. There's lots of things wrong with it. It's way too small and it's gotten to the point that it can't remember channels for more than 24 hours and television just doesn't look as nice as it could.

(No pun intended)
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Aquos were one of, if not the most expensive in range 3 years ago, but to be competitive with Sony, Sharp has become a lot more reasonable, and the quality hasn't lessened if you see from reviews. I think the whole issue with expensive lcds are ones completely made in Japan or Japan/Korean etc..

Plus their the TVs in the xman mansion... that's the main thing.. ( previous model, before they had the internal HDTV box )

I ended up getting mine right as the newer ones were coming out, it was the last model of them they had (apparently) and i got it for a hell of a lot cheaper (cash) than what we were quoted 8-9 months earlier.
TVs have come down in price so much its astonishing, From 8k to 4k in 4 years and now 2k in the last 2!! This has gotta plateau at some point soon..The 37" you pointed out TM for 1.099, those TVs were triple that 2 models ago, or more.  At least where I'm from.. also not having HDTV receiver, just being a LCD hd tv. I didn't realise they had become THAT cheap..hmm
