Martinez. Alas, I tried quite extensively to fit this into one of my 14 luxury estates...but could not. I felt that even though having an HDTV is cheaper, I still must opt for paying live actors to perform on stage in my living room 24/7. Even though they aren't quite up-to-par when performing at 3AM, nothing compares to the real thing. I would take to watching flesh and blood with my Dom Perignon and caviar over a sterile, impersonal thing like an HDTV any day of the year. If you'll excuse me, I must now go cleanse my hands in my 24K gold laundry room sink, as I feel I have dirtied myself by reviewing such a mediocre "entertainment" appliance. There is no substitute…

If you're so rich you can buy that TV... don't. Make a gorgeous theater for 40 or $50,000, and give the rest to a worthy charity. Oh by the way, I to could afford the TV =) Rediculously overpriced

SONY needs to lower the price of this to the $8K to $10K range and then it will be a great buy, until then SONY is SMOKING the good stuff, to try and price at this level. WAY OVERPRICED

I bought this damn thing at a whachucallit damn electro-store and they told me that the monster truck rally would be in super-duper high-speed picture stuff and they pulled my leg right outta socket. I hope them workers that sold me this crap get runned over by the same monster trucks they told me would come right outta the screen if I bought this TV. YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE! Thats what I say. Holy Schnikees!
