Looking at the price of the TV here Phil, it truly is amazing how quickly the prices of these things drop in so little amount of time. Just about a year and a half ago my Sony 42in DLP was $1700.00, and now I've seen that you can get a 50in model of this same series for only about $1300.00, where it was almost 2 Grand then.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
