Note the quotation marks. That isn't my prediction. That's Reisinger's.

He should take his own advice and stop drinking the kool-aid.

I would just like to add on the HDTV aspect of the article.

Visio TV's were considered 1 year TV's.

They are cheap Wal*mart TV's that fail like a RROD, well that was the case about 2 years ago when they first came out.

Now the Viszo Quality has gotten extremely better.

Sony does make the best looking HDTV and it is also the most expensive on the market, and their other ones that aren't as good are still priced way higher then the rest.

Sony does need to lower the price of the TV's, it was good when HDTV's were new to the market, but now everyone makes them.

for the Record I own a 61" DLP Samsung 1080p 3D-rdy, and a 54" Samsung Projection HDTV 1080i, I love them Both amazing picture.

I have a 52inch bravia LCD whith 120mhz motion flow got it for $2100.00 you can get a sony at a good deal just takes some looking around

We are getting to a point where 50 inch 1080p TVs are showing up for under $1000 on sale which (when configured properly) do not seem that inferior to a Sony TV when displaying HD content, so I'm not so sure $2100 really ever looks like a "good deal"

Yeah have you seen the picture on the $1000.00 inch TVs your not going to get
Performance takes center stage with the KDL-52XBR6 BRAVIA XBR LCD flat panel HDTV.

the old sony trinitrons always cost more cause they were better. There have always been cheap knock offs you get what you pay for and even CNET were this article starts states sony and samsung make the best LCD tvs

Also sony has a 52 v series that comes in around $1800.00. Sony wont sell a cheap TV and I applaud them for that

That's too broad of a statement.  The justification of a price difference comes from factors like native resolution, number of HDMI ports, refresh rate, and contrast ratio.  These factors and others do have a signifigant impact and justification aside from a 2" difference.

Wow, Xman.  You know what you are talking about.

Agreed which is why I posted the stats for my TV acove 120mhz motion flow, braivia 2 engine, 4 in digital comb fliter and 4 Hdmi with one on the side.  Also rated as one of the best by mutiple web sights
