240hz, huh? Whats 240hz gonna look like? Are any of the retail stores displaying them with a blu-ray player?

[PanasonicPlasmaMan]

Actually the XBR 7 52inch will also have the 240hz

It is coming soon and I would probably wait for that.

you would be getting it for under $2000 with your amazing discount

Sometime in the future we might see some company come out with both 10:10 pulldown 240HZ LCD with LED back lighting. Then the picture quality might be better or around the same quality of a high-end Plasma screen. The LED back lighting LCD's have excellent color accuracy.The 240HZ LCD's greatly eliminate motion blur to where it hardly is a issue anymore.

Are you sure. I work at a retail store where I can get 60% off sony tvs as well through cyber scholar but the xbr 7 or xbr 8 are not on the list double check that. Also I heard the xbr8 is price protected.

I haven't seen the 70" Sony XBR7 yet, but that would be my primary consideration if I could get 60% off! That would bring the price down from $20K to $8K.

Its true, retail employees get 60% via cyberscholar. You actually buy the tv through sony via cyberscholar, so if sony wants to sell it for 60% off they can, they dont have to worry about price protection if it is their own product. Only retail stores have to abide by price protection

[HDTV1080P]

The Sony XBR7 70 inch display does not have as good of picture quality compared to the Sony KDL-55XBR8 RGB LED backlighting. For $20,000 one can own a Sony 70 inch XBR7 but the picture quality is better on the $7,000 KDL-55XBR8.

According to this review the Sony KDL-55XBR8 is the best LCD screen on the market in terms of picture quality with only a Pioneer Plasma beating the overall picture quality of the XBR8.

I'm aware where you buy the tv from. Cyberscholar doesn't offer the xbr 7 or xbr 8 for a 60% discount.
