Hi,

IMO, SONY didn't stop making the SXRD sets because of the law suit -- they did it because they simply can't make the sets reliably. The optical blocks seem to be beyond their manufacturing capabilities. I have seen this sort of thing first hand in the aerospace industry. Just because design engineers come up with a killer theoretical concept doesn't mean the manufacturing/process engineers can build it.

As for the bulbs, well, buying a couple now is probably a good idea but I seriously doubt these sets will last more than a few years anyway. Yes, I have little faith. SONY of today seems to be a shadow of its former self. Sorry, I hate to say that as I used to be a huge SONY fan. BTW, I am still waiting to be blown away by my new Blu-ray player. Most discs offer only a little better picture quality than DVD, and at least one was not as good as its DVD counterpart. There was an article on this in last Sunday’s Washington Compost. They finally got something right.

Cheers, Joe
