I am looking for my first HD set and am looking for a 1080P 40+ inch set. I see that the sets with SXRD technology comes in cheaper than the LCD XBR2. Apparently i see alot of fuss over the XBRs but not alot of noise about the SXRD technology. Reasons why?
My budget is <$2500...and i found that PCConnection sells the XBR2 for 2250.00.
I have pretty much ruled out Plasmas cause of relfection and power consumption...although a good arguement would make me reconsider.
thanks for your help. I come here rather infrequently for info(when a big purchase is being made) and everyone kindly helps me out on most occassions, so thanks.
