Sony 70" XBR Grand WEGA

I was working last night, and when I got there, they had cleared out the room that was full of Open Box TVs, so we could put in this

From this image it doesn't look like much, but it's a 70" beauty
I wish that I could afford this, but I can't.

I got to set it up, set up the digital receiver and 5.1 surround, so I guess that kind of makes it mine...too bad I can't take it home with me At least I get to see it every night.

The largest "TV" I've heard of thus far is a $44,000 84" 16:9 Plasma TV...

This set is made by a company called "Akira".

Peace...

I saw this the other day at my local Tweeter and it looked pretty nice, but I'd still rather have that new 82" Mitsubishi. That'd be nice, I think.

My real job is with the US Air Force...but I'm sure that you're not referring to that job.

I have a part time job at Circuit City, selling TVs.
