  Strengths: Separate settgins for each input...

  Weaknesses: Remote and Expensive

  Overall Evaluation: This TV will amaze you if you have a XBMC or XBOX360. The TV really shines when these compenents are hooked to it. Make sure when you get an antenna, to get a quality one. I had to design my own since the ones I purchased from BB/CC did not give me the channels I needed.

  Weaknesses:

  Overall Evaluation: I was wary because it was so much cheaper, but it is the exact same TV being sold at Best Buy for about $600 more. So far I love it and have no complaints; great picture, good sound, nice controls, just a beautiful TV all around.As I said, I was wary about the place but they were great and I would order from them again for sure.

  Strengths: Best picture on the market! Built-in HD Tuner,7 source inputs, built in Mexico; other reviewers claimed TV was built in Japan-Sony must be opening new plants-hopefully not w/ slave labor.

  Weaknesses: I agree... Hoochie mamma expensive! That IS what the "X" in XBR means... X-pensive. 1080i res + HD Tuner makes it worth it.

  Overall Evaluation: Go ahead and pay for the HD tuner - you will be glad you did. One major advantage to consider, the HD Tuner allows you to get rid of your cable box in favor of a simple card; this means less clutter and less per mo on the darn cable bill. Also, if you live in a major metro area, you can buy a $40 HD antenna and get your HD for free! Take that cable monopoly!! Can't do that with a "monitor" that relies on an HD source like a expensive cable / satellite box where the cable "man" can continue to overcharge you for a zillion useless cable channels that you will never watch anyway. Am I crazy or does anyone remember when we did not have to PAY for a TV signal? (Come on IPTV!) Now, it's commonplace to waste $100+ per month for just TV. [Off soapbox] Don't get me wrong, I was not about to buy an HD set without a clear source to see the big beautiful HD programming that is available - gotta have it (the Olympics are amazing), but the tuner gives you options that save you $$ per month on the cable bill. Wait for the new BlueRay/HD-DVD players and your entertainment world will be complete. At least until they make all this stuff obsolete next year...

  Strengths: Picture is great, sound is great. I would buy it again, without hesitation.

  Weaknesses: Pricey, but worth it. Remote is not great-just buy a Harmony remote. 2 HDMI inputs would be nice.

  Overall Evaluation: You pay extra for features this set has. If you don't want them, then don't buy a set with these features. e.g., you can put in a CableCard.
