I was all set to purchase a 50 inch plasma TV for my new house - I had chosen the Sony - I have just ordered a Hitachi instead. Even if Sony has technical superiority, I will now wait for a competitive brand.
Trouble is, they probably do not care. They are afraid of their customers rather than trying to embrace them. What a sad state for Sony - You would think that they would have learned from the Betamax, they had superior technology, but lost the battle over greedy licensing.
