i mean if i bought this at full price last year and it was a good unit, would i already want to upgrade? a tv should last 10-15 years, so its only going to be new for a short time, but if you can buy it a discount, whats the problem?
is the technology out of date? It looked pretty high tech to me, but i am a noob.
opinions?

well, back on a more serious note....
Problem with the new TV's is that the technology is advancing at a very quick pace similar to the computer revolution during the 90's were they got better almost every week. So this years TV is almost obsolete once you purchase it. Don't get me wrong, when i saw the TV i got a little excited picturing it at my house, but its tough. You really have to look at your priorities when it comes to television. Since I have HD, my next TV has to be complete 1080i resolution so when they start pushing 1080i on TV, I'll be fully equipped. Right now, those TV's are at least 1K higher in cost then the "regular" widescreens. Oh well, wait for them to drop in price...
(keep in mind, i'm fairly ignorant when it comes to a lot of the TV stuff... i've just picked up a few little things over the last little while looking at TV's, so who knows, i could be talking out my a$$ and not have a clue!!!)
