KD34XBR960's in Seattle Area ??
Does anyone know of any "New In Box" KD-34XBR960 sets in the Seattle area??
I was out looking today after I had called around to see who had what... and of course a couple of them lied and said they had one,,, only to find out it was a 970 when I got there. I found a couple of 960's at Frys in Renton for $1299 and the manager would have discounted it, but I didn't buy one because:
#1...they were floor models, #2 the cabinets were beat up and #3 who knows how many thousands of hours they've been on display, turned on?
I wish the 970 had the better tube in it, because it is cheaper and more readily available, but I found the 960 clearly had superior picture quality just as some people have testified to here in the forum. Even my wife (who is usually not too picky about stuff like this) said that the 960 blew everything else on the shelf away!!!!
So, I will continue my search for a KD-34XBR960N or no N.
I just hope I don't have to drive to another state to get it and I don't want to order it online for obvious reasons,, but I may have to.
Bye the way,, I forgot, does the N designate the anti-reflective coating?
If it has the N on the number does it have the anti-reflective coating or not??
I saw a 34xs955 but the damn thing was $1699 !!!! I can get a new xbr970 for $1099. I'm not sure I can justify $600 more for the SFP.
