What do you like from CES

[SiliGoose]

Just curious what new stuff you've seen at CES that looks great. I've been too busy to really explore all the news sites so I'm sort of out of the loop.

I have heard Sony is bringing out a $400 SACD player -though I haven't heard if it's multi-channel capable.

Here's my new object of desire:
KV-40XBR700

Sili, I can't tell the CRS from the CES myself. Not been to that show, unfortunately! Someday maybe, I will be able to go.

Nice XBR Eric, is that an HD set?

So this is the new $4,000, 300 lb., 40" Sony Hard Tube TV I've heard about?

I was hoping it'd be 16:9. Can you tell me more about it? Is it Hi-Def ready with either 720p or 1080i or p cabability? Does it have component input?

See Ya. Dave

I'm not all that impressed by the XBR700. It's just a bigger version of my XBR400. I'm much more interested in the 16:9 Wega direct view they introduced.

The XBR700, like the XBR400, does 480i, 480p, and 1080i...no 720p. Component inputs are a given.

Well, if we're not gonna require our dreams to be commercially available, I'm going to have to change my vote. I give you the "Grand Wega"




An awesome looking TV with the "proper" aspect ratio. LCD rear projection. 50 inch TV (I think)
