Also, you STILL will notice a huge difference in the SXRD if you're coming from DLP or LCD RPTV. The contrast ratio is almost 10X better and the color is much more accurate with the advent of the use of 3 colored chips. The pixel-to-pixel distance is cut to to mere fractions of microns - you can't even see the borders unless you peer at the pixels from 6 inches away from the screen. Furthermore, the absolute black levels of the SXRD is obscene.

EDIT: I'm not sure if it's "hella" expensive - Sony SXRD 60" is I think $4,000-4,500 depending where you can land a deal. Not expensive considering sets like these usually cost that much upon release. I bought my Sony XS955 for $3,500 and the XS is now disconinued (but still a good set). So it'd just run me $500 more for a huge upgrade.

it's almost double the price

i know it's better, but it's not worth it's price if you watch regular cable channels and dvd's once in a while
