I liked what I saw in the Sony 50" LCoS (oops! SXRD! ) set except for one thing. It doesn't accept 1080p input! I'll be updating my 15 year old non-HD (naturally) Pioneer Elite PRO-75 45" RPM this year with a unit for normal TV (and HD) viewing in my HT when I don't want to lower the big screen for a giant picture. The 50" SONY would have been a perfect fit for my room but with no 1080p input I'm not going to spend thousands of dollars for a set that can't give me 1080 passthrough since I expect the set to last at least 10 years.

Gregg loves the Samsung Models and Adam was raving about the new HP models that he saw on the last day of the show. These are DLP sets and I'm not totally opposed to them as long as they accept 1080p. I'll be looking in the 50-58" HD range to fit the room. (The HP models actually go very nicely with my current Sanus Racks and almost look like an exact match for them).

I also realize that there are other LCoS players (or similar) out there so I'll be looking at displays from other manufacturers. More later and in other threads here.
