I saw this in a store...
Its around $3000
Very nice picture.
Still couldnt afford this for a Comp and TV unit.

I was VERY dissapointed that the remote looked incredibly cheap and that none of the TV's advanced features can be used without the $700+ HDTV tuner from Philips which makes me wonder the if advanced features ONLY work with Philips HDTV tuner.

There are ALOT of inputs on the monitor.
The problem I see, is there is NO room for a tuner. So it was external. And then consider what has to be displayed with it(the tuner). Its basicly a small computer that RE-RENDERS the video input to be displayed. I wonder IF it can be used on OTHER TV's. The computer input LOOKED standard, and WAS on the monitor.

Some of the larger digital TV's are horrible at displaying text. So if you want to do something other than play games on it, than you probably want to get a smaller version that you can switch too. They had a 27 in plasma on TechTV that seemed to do a good job at both. I forget the name.
