Dead - Sony SXRD 50"

[Whiskyboy]

The folks at AVS seem to love this set and I'm trying to hold back...

50" Sony SXRD Model KDS-50A2000 - Listed at $2499
Amazon.com currently $1649.98 with Free Shipping
[CORRECTION] Now 1899.99 - Amazon Rollercoaster

I would link it but I can't seem to manufacture a link to the item as sold by Amazon. They also have the 55" KDS-55A2000 for $1949.98. I've been watching the prices drop and figured it was time to share the love with the AT folks. My plan is actually to purchase the TV from OneCall and pricematch it to Amazon's shipped price, since their warranty prices are lower and they cover bulb replacement. $1909.60 should get you the 50" with a 5yr warranty with bulb replacement, shipped to your door. As a YMMV, OneCall has a coupon offer going that could get you an additional $75 off, but I don't suppose they'd add it to your PM.

Cheers

omg.....greatest price on the current best technology out there...until SED, nothing can beat this technology...2.5ms response time and the best HD picture I've ever seen!

I don't see these prices.

I see $1856.98 for the 50 and $2199.00 for the 55.

Appears as though Amazon's magical floating prices have gone up... still not a bad deal I suppose.

I have the 50 inch TV and it's simply amazing. I got it a few months ago from CC for $2100 and I got 5% back as a gift card so this deal is pretty hot. I think SonyStyle has the tv for $1800 as well.

Meh. Sony = avoid.

Now at $1799.99 @ Amazon although almost $200 more for shipping.

It's $1899.99 with free shipping from Sony from 11/24 - 11/27. Don't know how much longer that will last since today is 11/28 but it's still $1899.99 when you add to cart.

Is this HDCP compliant over the HDMI inputs? Can't find this for sure on Sony's site.

These sets are very nice. I just picked up the 60" this weekend from CC. Looks great at 1920x1080 w/ my HTPC but the VGA input on these things is useless -- only 1366x768 and doesn't fill the screen. You need to use a dvi->hdmi cable to get 1080p.

Why would you still have the misleading title?

I re-labelled it dead as is traditional, but I suppose I could be clearer. You could also phrase your request as a statement rather than a sarcastic rhetorical question. But you got me! OH SNAP!

I saw this TV today at circuit city for $1899. I've had mine for about a month and it is amazing. HD and xBox 360 are unbelievable, Digital SD is good, analog SD, eh, so be sure about which signal you get from your cable or other provider.

Just picked one up today. It can be had for $1615 at bestbuy today with the 12% off coupon for reward zone. circuit city has it today for about $80 more.... sweet deal!!!!

I'm assuming that's in-store only?

My BB doesn't have the 50" in stock ATM. I could get it shipped though.

 

[RossMAN]

If this ever hits $1,500 with free shipping on Amazon.com - it will take all the willpower in the world to resist the urge.

How in the world are these prices dropping so fast???!!!
