I tried to post this under the deals board but it won't let me start a new topic.
Hitachi Ultravision 55VG825 55" Rear projection LCD new in box for $1550 and the 50VG825 50" for $1400 (no stands) for anyone looking for a nice HiDef.

There's not alot of talk on this T.V but for someone looking at making a jump into their first HiDef T.V., it's worth taking a look at.
The store is Grant's Appliances in Orland Park, IL. Grant's has numerous stores in Chicagoland and I was told all the stores shipped their Hitachi Ultravision inventory to the Orland Park store to blow them out.
I really wanted the Sony SXRD but since I was coming from a 32" tube T.V. and the Hitachi was so cheap, I took the chance and was happy with the decision.
Just thought I would pass it along.
