Fortunately Sony was somewhat smart and it has 2 HDMIs....so far the reports have been very positive from owners at the AVS Forum. Myself, I'm waiting for 1080p input so that years down the road I can hook up a external processor/scaler... it's always something
MD, you should definitely check out those SXRDs....they should be hitting Best Buys and Circuit Citys in your area any day now. Make sure you ask the silly salesguy to reset the picture and put it in PRO mode before you compare.
