I got a top of the line 52" Sharp Aquos 1080 a month or so ago at cost because my friend that works with IBM did a project for them so they offered him cost pricing. It retails for over $3k and I got it for $1,800 shipped to the house.

I do not follow the tv stuff much but supposedly it has all the bells and whistles along with awesome clarity.

But yeah like Pat said, they are getting cheap ! I remember a few years ago these tv's were $5k + !

Get ready for 1440 ( I think that was the number ) to replace 1080 soon according to my friend.
