It'll be interesting to see if Emerson will continue (or start?) to manufacture the 7 series TVs with the same specs. I'm not holding my breath as Emerson usually sells "lower end" products under it's own brand name so I hope they don't reduce the level of quality of the 7 series sets if they try to reduce expenses during production. On the plus side for consumers, 47" set prices have come down so much, that a 7 series would easily retail for under $1K. Second tier 47" LED backlit sets are supposed to sell for $1500 or less by the end of the year. I would assume that margins would be razor thin for any "updated" or "refreshed" 7-series models, so we may not see the 7-series in it's former glory.
On the other hand, one can always create a wish list :-)
- Matte screen (no reflections!)
- Matte frame (same)
- Thinner, less power consumption, etc
- Lighter
- Latest LCD panels for improved view angles, contrast, etc
- Keep the HQV processor (or better yet, use a newer version of the Realta that generates less heat but has same/better specs)
- IMPROVE quality

Are you sure about that?
There is no MicroCenter near me and when I put that # into the website, nothing comes back.
