I went to Microcenter in No. Va and they had it for 1299.00, then I look at Circuit ****ty and they have the same thing for 1799.00 can anyone tell me why the ginormas difference? Oh and what other kinds of HDTV's do you guys like?
Mistress - as others have said, make sure both Aquos models are 1080p. Even if they are, one could be a newer model and hence cost more. The market moves so fast with HDTVs that 'new' models are often replaced by updated models within months. They'll often have the same hardware panel specs (i.e. LCD panel itself) but they can have upgraded image processors, improved case options, etc.

The Sharp Aquos series are well regarded and have established a good rep. I'm also looking at buying a 42" or 46" Aquos.
