I saw this demoed at CES 2017 and it was pretty cool. While nowhere close to being as great sounding as a pair of decent hifi speakers, such as any of us would own, the sound from the front surface of this TV (with the integrated subwoofer) was quite good for most people, even at moderate volumes. I am glad to see it finally arrived in the market.

That's getting down to a pretty reasonable price point too.

Too rich for me, but not horrible.

I'm thinking about what this tech cost just a couple years ago that wasn't as good.

Yes I'm sure your right. What gets me is just how incredible the picture is on a 1,500.00 set of the same size.
Me not being a videophile I could never justify the doubling of the price. Sure for people who are really into video I guess that price is actually not bad at all.

You are talking to the crazy person who spent $6000 on the 75-inch Sony flagship two years ago.

Lol, not to worry, we all have our crazy.

I have read several reviews and they say the picture is equal to, but not better than, similar LG sets with the LG sets being $500-$1,000 less.

That is true with native 4K material, but the Sony has substantially better video processing and does a much better job of making 1080p content look great. The panel itself is identical.
