I have the 50 inch Sony SXRD. I got it the first week it was available last year. It is easily the best picture I have ever seen anywhere, end of story. The only downside is that though it shows 1080p it, as with 99% of 1080p TVs, cannot receive a 1080p signal. This is not just because there is no broadcast in 1080p, but because there is not a universal 1080p out. HDMI does not cover 1080p. One company, I think Magnavox ( i may be wrong) uses some kind of PC connnection to achieve it. Bottom line, 1080i channels get converted to 1080p on the Sony SXRD, and very well I should say. Discover HD Theater looks better than real life, I kid you not.
On the downside, the 360 does not have the current best possible connection. Component inputs simply become blurry when blown up to a large TV like this. The effect isn't so noticable on slower pace games, but when motion blur is added (PGR3) it can look a little hazy. If you can, go for the SXRD, the price has dropped since I bought mine. You can now get the 60 for what I paid for a 50. When I bought mine the 70 was $15,000, but I don't know what it currently goes for.
