*drools*

The 2005 SXRD line was a great tv with a phenomenal picture.

I was amazed that a "first gen" product could come out this strong, right out of the gate.

See? It can be done right when these companies feel like it!

Easily the best RPTV on the market right now hands down.

The only thing missing was accepting 1080P, so the 2006 series is good to go.

If I had the means and the space, I'd buy it right now, without hesitation.

Every person that I recommended these sets to that were in the market either called me personally or emailed me/PM'd me with "thank you thank you thank you!"

Just put some high quality HD on one of these bad boys (imagine football!) and come talk to me after you pick your jaw up off the floor and clean the drool!

Sony wants/needs a Trinitron successor and phenomenon. I personally believe these can be it for them.

Yeah lets just hope the quality control stays in place.

ps, i've heard a "Free" firmware update is comming for the 05 SXRD's sometime before the launch of BDPS-1 & ps3. that allows 1080p over HDMI.

that would make sense.

My brother is likely going with the 60" model. We just shopped them, and the two things I didn't like were the lack of 1080p support and the silly speakers on the side. In THIS day and age it suprises me to no end that manufacturers haven't learned that speakers either need to be small and mostly out of the way (tucked into the projection area at the bottom) or they need to be removable.

I guess the Qualia versions are removable and the standard series are tucked into the bottom area. Either way, it's a huge improvement for the aesthetics considering that it is going into a room with full surround sound.

Sounds sweet! But I have a small apartment in New York. I wonder if they'll come out with a smaller version, like a 37" or 40" ?
