Oh crap, now when my LCD RPTV goes bad, I will have nothing for Circuit City to replace it with from the same brand:
Maybe they will have the replacement bulbs for this set for a few more years, if that is ALL that goes bad.
I bought a 70VS810 less than three years ago with an extended warranty and this irks me no end.
The only other thing CCity would probably offer me now, if the set became broken and unrepairable, is the 73" DLP from Mitsubishi, which to me, doesn't look as good as my LCD RPTV does at 70":
Circuit City refuses to offer the Sony 70" LCoS sets, only the 60" size (max) and that would be a better "fit" considering the seating distance.
On the other hand, if I was to buy a panel set, instead, it wouldn't be Hitachi, maybe a 65" (closer to 70") Panasonic Plasma or 65" Sharp Aquos LCD, just because of this.

If CC doesn't have what you want, you might want to go online. I came very close to buying a TV from vanns.com (free shipping, too), but found what I wanted at a local H.H. Gregg's. Sony's SXRD (LCoS) is what I believe you are talking about.
