Price is down to around 90K at Megamall.
You can get it for a lot less if you haggle
I auditioned it yesterday........
The PQ wasn't impressive..... I was using the what dreams may come dvd to test and noticed green dot crawl (during the tunnel scene the one before robin williams goes to heaven), with the picture at times looking like an HBO movie with very bad cable reception when I tested it especially compared to the samsung R71
I'm attributing this to the connections (sana this TV fits my budget perfectly kasi
)...........the unit was connected via component cables (the thin ones that come shipped with dvd players) to a non-progressive scan dvd player, the PQ of the hitachi unit at listening in style was very different from the one I saw yesterday.......But the price is so competitive I'd like to test it again with better interconnects and a progressive scan dvd player.....
If i go for the hitachi I can actually use the money I save to get an upconverting dvd player and an HDMI cable
or a decent AV rack to put the LCD on
