Sony's VAIO VGC-JS190J (you know, the little fellow
of the bunch) managed to snag itself
a pretty great review late last month, so it's no shock at all to see the bigger, sleeker and all-around better VGC-RT150Y land similar sentiments. The 25.5-inch unit was rolled out as
part of a trio at CEDIA, and besides packing quite a bit of horsepower, this thing actually looks shockingly like a svelte LCD. Reviewers instantly fell in love with the expansive panel, beautiful array of ports, inbuilt HDTV tuner and Blu-ray burner, though reality began to set in when refocusing on the $3,999 list price. Sure, multimedia performance was above par, and it can easily be hung on a wall, but unless you've just got oodles of cash to burn (and have something against
making donations), this one probably deserves a skip.

Unbelievable.. For the same price you could build an equivalent htpc rig and connect it to a 60" plasma on the wall.

I would love to see where you shop. I know what you're trying to say, but you're pretty grossly over-exaggerating...
