A friend told me a Sony salesperson told him they only sell HD LCD flat panels. I could only find one plasma on the sonystyle web site.

The LCD's keep getting better and better. I just saw one today on Best Buy made by Westinghouse, 37" LCD 1080P 1920 x 1080 for $1900.00.

I was at Best Buy and I did an experiment. I looked at the image only to see what I liked. Each time it was LCD that I liked better than Plasma (I limited viewing to high-end name brand TV's). The viewing was from 3 feet away and most TVs were at least 36" or larger.

It's possible that the "Sceptre" brand is the same product as the Westinghouse... if so, that same TV is on costco.com for $1499. 37", 1080p native.

(okay, just looked up the westinghouse, on best buy it says it doesn't include a tuner, whereas the sceptre does. So not the same product, although the sceptre is a native 1920x1080p panel with a built-in tuner, 37", HDMI/DVI with HDCP support... $1499... anyone have one? Is it any good?)
