Would you pay $5k for this tv?

I got a Sony XBR3 40" for half the price cause it was a floor model. But know way would I pay 5k on something that will be half price in a year.

I've heard a lot more ghosting stories from flat panel LCD's then RP's.
A lot of people complain about ghosting on low resolution feeds...there were some people complaining about ghosting on some Samsung DLP sets on PS2 through a composite feed.

When I first got my set I tried to see any ghosting on 360 through component and have never seen any hint of lag.

Not only did I have problems with the refresh rate on my 55" Sony RP, I had what looked like blown up images coming from the corners. Like if you watched it from the side or even a mild angle it would look like it curved and bigger. I couldnt stand that.

Is it a Sony RP?

I dont know why, maybe it was a default, I dont know. One things for sure, I enjoy the smaller, better, yet more expensive TV. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif HD on it is just pure ***!

All I know is 52" LCD is teh *** and so is HD projection on a 77" screen....both in the living room.

Now if my dad would let me upgrade the shitpile he calls 5.1 surround sound. Ok it isnt bad but it could be a lot better. Like a some new towers, center channel, and a lot more woofage.

If I bought a $5k TV, I'd watch **** on it. For 5k, the chick should pop out of the screen and gimme a BJ.

Mine wasnt LCD whatsoever. Was just called Rear projection. I hated that dam TV. It was like going from night to day switching out that tv.

Explain?

I think they make awesome HT setups. Well tv's anyway. Their surround sound systems could be worked on, but one thing for sure, it is better than their car audio.
