My friend has that exact XBR and it is incredible. There is no better blacks than that tube. If I remember, Gresch may have had one of the last Sony Wega's too. Or maybe it was another member. Anyhow, great stuff indeed. That is the heaviest TV I have ever experienced in my life and I told him he'd have to keep it, we're not moving it again!

My PJ is also 1080i but accepts a 1080p/24 signal so it works well with BR and HDDVD. Can't wait to see the next-gen stuff that is proposed for 2012+. Supposedly will make today's 1080p look like SD. Who knows.

I am an AV nutcase too, but I don't have 50K in my system! Enjoy!
