It would be horrible to get a set and have it lag! Wow, my name is in a review, I'm honored :) I’ll bring my PS3 to the store to test it on it actually, just to be safe.

As well, make sure that the set has a game mode, to avoid the <a href="http://www.ps3blog.net/2006/06/28/hdtv-gaming-lag/">gaming lag</a> problem. Tosh: check out this review.

I would love a SXRD 60" but .... lol, I'd have to talk my future wife about it. Lol, she thinks a 50" inch is too big ..... girls, oh well. Maybe I could get a 55" inch SXRD ..... well see, lol.

I have a Samsung LCD HDTV, So i'm glad they included that feature. 599.99 is a great price for a blue ray player and the most powerful gaming system on the planet. It is for hard core gamers, and it will have no problem selling out. I think that Blue ray Disk (BD) is great and a bargain at that price.

The Bravias are great LCD HDTVs but For that kind of money I would go with the new SXRD 60". The SXRD last year was the best HDTV by far and the new SXRDs are even better. Segitz, I agree with henning on your post too. I would steer away from CRT 1080i HDTVs. The picture to me isn't as consistent across the entire screen as a Digital tv would be. Most people use a tv for a long time (10 years or so) and settling for a CRT with the rest of the tvs available is crazy to me. I think Henning bought his when Plasma, LCD, and DLP were 3-5 times more expensive than they are now. A few years ago the choice was much clearer from a price perspective. Now for a few hundred more you can get a tv that is far superior. Tosh, I agree with Henning strongly. The Bravias are great LCD HDTVs but For that kind of money I would go with the new SXRD 60″.

You gotta be careful guys. A lot of "1080p" Tvs are really just scaling up to 1080p and are not true 1080p. Make sure to check Hennings other blogs (he's to humble to say this) regarding HD products. Not all HD sets are equal! Blogs: HDBlog.net HTBlog.net I’m waiting on getting a 1080p sony tv after the ps3 drops. You gotta be careful guys.

Mine doesn't. Just so you know, CRT’s are analog devices and therefore even though they are rated at 1080i, they probably don’t do the full 1920 x 1080i. Mine doesn’t.

As I was at my Lawyer today (got some heirship comming my way) and I'll be getting about 12000€ out of it. But as I was saving up for an HDTV already (got 600€, in 2 weeks, it'll be enough for my new HDTV), thats "just" some added bonus, meaning I can get a PS3 at launch after all :D But that said aside, I dont plan on buying a monster TV for that. A nice CRT (the ONLY HD-Ready CRT in Germany ATM) is enough for my needs. It has a splendid Contrast, which drove me away from LCDs, as the contrast is as important for imagequality as the resolution. It "only" supports 1080i (but as it is a CRT, it doesnt suck at interlaced material), which is enough for me. In Germany, we already have 5 HDTV Channels (mainly via dish, which I dont have, and 3 of them which are PayTV) and I dont watch tooo much TV. I will use it however for BluRay movies and gaming!! <a href="http://av.samsung.de/article.asp?artid=124CFDA0-AF02-4856-80A9-96D04FFFA4C8">Samsung TV Link</a> And also. As I have a 19'' LCD for working, which has a 1280x1024 (5:4 DAR), which also has 2 inputs (dvi and sub-d) I can connect my PS3 there and switch between working and gaming without leaving my chair :D !!
