HOT!!!

It's the TAU flat screen CT-36HX42 MSRP $1800, lowest price search is around $1300, major elctronics stores are more like $1500+


Edit: In home deliver was $40 (the beast weighs 230!)

The 4:3 ratio ruins it for me

 

[badluck]

I guess this might be hot for some, but I wouldn't spend $900 on a 4:3 TV.

I used to sell that tv back a year or so ago.....no 36" tv even comes to the picture quality this tv has and dear god the inputs if i remember correctly it has 3 component imputs 2 S video 3 Rca and 2 cable imputs. Also has some very nice speakers [For a tv anyways] and the picture is as crisp as my 21" G 500 Computer monitor....nice stuff. Great deal Thanks!

This is a great deal however when I get a HDTV, I will get a 16:9 one. What happens if I don't buy the best then getting another one will bug me forever. I am glad I didn't get a cheap analog input only LCD because I would have been thinking about buying a digital one every single day. Same thing with everything else I buy. I bought a TV and guess what, buying a bigger one bugged me everyday till I finally bought a bigger one. If this were 16:9 for that price, I'd buy one without a second though but 16:9 always cost a lot more.

I went to check this TV out on Friday, and I can confirm that the picture quality is great. It took some adjusting to get the picture looking clear and color representation correct, but once that's done, it is great. If you don't mind a 4:3 aspect ratio, then this is a steal. I ended up not buying it because I wanted a 16:9 tv. Great deal though.
