I wrote a customer review of the SXRD on this site a few months ago. I have to say that yes this TV is the best HD TV out there right now. I was blown away by the picture even in comparison to other HDTVs. It also did a good job on SD. It was a very flexible TV with lots of options and useful features like watching two channels at one.

However (I don't want to be a stick in the mud for everyone on this site), I returned it. Although it showed me why Sony was better than other TV makers, it was too expensive for the current state of technology. The HDMI port on this TV doesn't accept 1080p input and therefore is not as future proof as I first thought. If it did I would still have it.

I decided to go without HD for now until a set come around that meets the SXRD quality and has clear proof of 1080p input. In fact I went without a TV for two months until I could borrow one. I don't think HD technology is settled enough right now to spend $4K on a TV that I might want to upgrade in 2 years.

I may wait for SED. On the other hand, if Sony delivers an SXRD with no elephant ears and tru 1080p over multiple inputs I might just get back in the game. But it won't matter till next football season i guess since that seems to be the best content on HD anyway.
