They may not of stopped making them solely because of the law suite, but I suspect it was a factor. The article saying Sony was to stop making RPTV said they were losing alot of money on them. tThey did/will replace just about every optical block on the early SXRDs, due to the defective design. Now they have to reimburse people who had to get new TVs or outside repairs. Apparently, they had no problems with the OB in the SXRD2s. Isn't JVC still making their DILA TVs? Same technology.
As for BDs, Yea, I'm getting less enchanted with them too. There are some really superb ones out there, but they are very few and very far between. The vast majority are good but not great. I don't think they are putting that much effort into most of the discs-maybe they are focused too much on audio, at the expense of video. Regardless, they certainly aren't anywhere near their potential. Then there's the selection of titles...
