    best buy/circuit city have them here locally. 2100 at BB, 2K at CC. BB said they price match...which is good cause they have 36 month financing opposed to 12 at CC.

    • Does internet purchase negate tax? - dingo dave 16:20:54 02/07/07 (1)

      of course, i guess with online purchase there would be no tax, right? Maybe i should order the set online from best buy and do the financing online via Best Buy. That's $250 there i'm saving.

        If there is a Best Buy in your state, I believe they are obligated to charge you tax since they are doing same-state business with you.

        Most online vendor delivery charges for displays run from $150 - $300 (depending on weight, size of carton, etc). But even with shipping charges added to the price of an online non-state vendor purchase, it's still usually less expensive compared to the store price + tax (unless there's a special sale or clearance going on).

• This year's SXRD will accept a 1080p signal. - Prisoners 07:36:01 02/07/07 (3)

  Again, it's not that big of an issue because the only current source that outputs a 1080p signal is a BluRay or HDDVD player. The internal scaler on the Sony SXRD is very good, and upscales a 1080i signal to a 1080p image very nicely.

    They don't "upscale" 1080i to 1080p: they deinterlace 1080i to 1080p. Upscale generally means changing a lower resolution (ie, 480x720) to a higher one (ie, 1920x1080). Both 1080i and 1080p are 1920x1080 pixels, so there's no change in resolution.

        The SXRDs have better deinterlacers than upscalers, at least the '05 models do.
