What a great score! I always liked that style of Wega. Just checked the manual on the Sony site and that TV sure is loaded! It has a DVI input with HDCP - that must be really rare on a CRT set. If you get an HDMI to DVI cable (about $10 or so on eBay) you will be able to hook it up to a Blu-Ray player and get full 1080i or 720p quality no matter what happens. (They are making noise about eventually turning off the analog outputs for HD quality on future Blu-Ray discs to prevent piracy. Stupid idea, you can already get ripping software that clones Blu-Ray discs, this would only punish those of us with HDTVs with no digital inputs.) You also get a Memory Stick picture viewer and Favorite Channels with PIP preview. The only missing feature is an ATSC tuner but I suppose you would not be getting these TVs for free if it had one!

Hope they enjoy their new Dynex and its picture quality... sure it is better than this Sony and it will last much longer... and I have a bridge to sell you too...
