The perfect TV for the Pro is the Sony Z9D series. I went to Best Buy the week before the Pro event and saw this beauty of a TV, and decided right then and there I was going to be getting that for what ever the Neo turned out to be. Sony demo'ed the Pro on the z9D, and IMO the 9D blew people in attendence away more than the Pro. Most people have not see a TV on the level of the Z9D because it is the only one in it's class.

Only problem with the Z9D is the price. $6K for 65" or $9K for 75". But, when I say it looks like a next gen TV, I am absolutly not exaggerating, I look at TV's all year, and I have not been blown away since the old SXRD Rear Projection TV's Sony made back in the mid 2000's. The Z9D from my experince with it, is an even greater jump, then the jump from SD to HD. Now I can't wait to what it lloks like connected to the Pro Nov 10th.

I need to vent so sorry all for going off topic.

I once had a Sony SXRD KDS-55A3000.  Awesome television.  I first bought it in February 2008, and I just gave it away this year.  At the time of purchase, I paid $1800 for this set, and anything in a flat panel that was comparable in specs was at least twice the price.  Not perfect, the Sony SXRD KDS-55A3000 was a beautful set in which I spent hours tweaking it to its best for my surroundings.

Currently, I own the KDL-60W630B and the KDL-55W800C.  Both Sony, both smart TV's, both LEDs, 60" & 55" respectively.  The KDL-60W630B is a basic smart TV in the living room for general viewing while the KDL-55W800C is probably one of the best pre-4K televsions you can get at the time for gaming and home theather purposes.  Both of these sets being newer tech is better than the Sony SXRD, but the Sony SXRD was so great for its time it was so hard for me to let go.  I just didn't have to room to justify saving it somewhere.  Any videophile will know that the KDS-55A3000 was an impressive set for its time.  And what's really sad is that no one around me would pay money for it when trying to sell it because they were so caught up un the flat panel hype not knowing the quality of a television that is really is.  I finally got a coworker's brother-in-law to take it off of my hand when I finally had to offer the TV for free.

Obviously in today's market, I'd pick the televsion sets I have now over the SXRD, but that set was so sweet that provided so many great movie viewing and gaming moments.

It is an absolute shame that consumers killed rear projection TVs. SXRDs were so much better than LCD, and so much cheaper as well. People unfortunatly misunderstood the bulb going out with thinking their whole TV was broke. All they had to do was call the manufacturer and request a free replacement bulb which was standard from any respectable manufacturer. You could easily get 4 - 5 years from a TV on the 1st bulb, and then another 4 - 5 years on the 2nd before having to spend a minuscule $300 for the 2nd replacement bulb.

SXRDs had absolutly zero screen door effect, no judder, no artifacting, extreamly good black levels, and as low as 4ms response times. Now we are stuck with LCD, LED, and OLED, all of which suffer from many issues, and have input lag around 20ms at best or 35ms average. Great example of consumers ruining the industry  with uninformed purchases.
