There SXRDs are really nice. I wanted to get a 50" A3000, but they don't sell them in Canada for some reason :(

Amazing TV for the price though.

Took them long enough to realise that any rear projection screen is shyte and only of any use to the blind or philistines.Especially shyte are the ones used at the movies!

ya but look at the glut of cheap poorly made LCD tvs unfocused jaggys everywhere....

I just hope they have a massive clearance sale on them so I can afford to finally get an HDTV ^.^'.

All projections suck, my grandparents got a hand me down projection 62 inch sony, I tried to pay them to not take it,
LCD FTW!

pieman; Your comment only showns your ignorance. The only thing that is full of "shyte" is you as you have no idea what you are talking about!

RPTV has, without any doubt, the best bang for the buck of any technology over 50". Unless you don't mind paying 2x to 3x more for an equivalent sized LCD with poorer blacks or 2x more for a Plasma that burns and reflects room light and is the dimmist of the three.

I love sony TV's and know that it will be worth the wait after the halt. patience is a virtue.

@videobruce...I think youve just proved my point....but i am intrigued though as to whether you are a)blind or b)a philistine.One of the reasons poor technologies are thrust upon us is that the dim witted and easily satisfied are more than happy to lap them up.

It's you that appears to be "blind" since you didn't correctly read my post and you have no real idea of the differences between the three technolgies.
What part of "best bang for the buck" don't YOU understand?
What's "poor" about RPTVs' as they have been out almost as long as color TVs' were before them.
If you or anyone else 'thinks' a CRT is the Holy grail, you are in a dream world. You just go ahead and watch your 25" console until it completely dies, or watch your overated Plasma untill it falls off the wall if the burns don't get it first.

You can also enjoy paying 2x what you would if you had a RPTV for your electric bill and waste more energy so as to have your status symbol in you house.
If the technology is so bad, why were so many sold to date?

BTW, because most sets were never setup correctly and used poor cable feeds uninformed statements as yours have surfaced before.

@videobruce.spectacles on?Ok.I made no mention of plasma or lcd, my comments were plainly aimed at rptv.As for a 'status symbol', hell you cant wear or drive it (lmao).Why are so many sold?For the same reason people buy memorex.Best bang for the Buck?Who gives a toss.No point throwing good money at crap products,better off throwing more at a decent bit of kit.Thats why I drive a merc and not a ford.Not set up properly?Had to rely on a local specialist supplier to demo (no bell wire here) rptv, and my money is on them having read the manual.Thats my last post on the matter as i feel im sinking to your level.Thank god for memorex eh?!!

Too bad he can't format a post correctly, instead of running everything together...............
