I agree with the people who hold the opinion that FLAT TVs aren't the only TVs. I think Sony stopped making the 70 Inch RP TV was they wanted to focus on Flat Panel Tvs. I believe that they made this decision due to markets where living spaces (homes) in Japan and in Europe, and in Flats and Apartments in cities like NY & Chicago have much smaller living areas, thus many people do not want a large TV.

But for those of us in the suburbs... living in large homes with plenty of space... want a a TV that is 70 inches plus. I don't care if the TV can mount on a wall. I want is BIG... I want it colorful, I want the resolution and picture quality to be subperb... and I want plenty of interface connectivity, such as HDMI 1.3, USB etc.... Laser....Laser.....Laser!!!!!!!!
