"Black Friday I picked one up for $128 + tax at WallyMart. At that price, I should have purchased two of them. It's basically the same as the Philips, sans 5.1 audio analog outs. I don't use 5.1, so this does not bother me. Picture is excllent (as good as my Sony PS3), and it does not run hot like the PS3 did. --Crack"
