No interest in Sharp. I will stick with Sony.

[Lee Stewart]

I believe that announcement is for Japan only (and maybe for Europe). It is definitely NOT for the USA.

Not interested in Sharp either. Sony/Sammy fan here.

Actually it's the MPAA that is preventing BD recorders here in the USA.

Sharp chose not to participate in that shootout. If their HDTV is so good, wouldn't they want all to know it? Or are they keeping it a secret?

Yeah, this wont be coming to the U.S. for a while, but it sounds neat.
I love my Sharp...it may not be the BEST DISPLAY IN THE WORLD EVER OMG...
but it gets the job done

not necessarily. Maybe they didnt think it was worth wasting a 2000$ TV how would I know. With that kind of logic wouldnt LG and Toshiba NOT want to be compared directly against a sony XBR 9 and a pioneer plasma and look like total crap? Does that mean any other TV besides those 10 are totally worthless?

Why would they "waste a $2000 TV?" They would either have a store sell it or take it back and use it for a trade show.

Who used the word "worthless?" Not me.

Did you see what was done to all the HDTV's in the shootout? They were calibrated - giving them the best look the calibrators could get out of them.
