... at Good Guys, in Sane Jose, Calif. It's not available until next month, at a price of $3499. It appeared to me to be in a cabinet almost identical to the mock up at CES.
It is HUGE. Very deep and very wide. Too huge in my opinion.
The picture looked great with the HD demo loop they had. Very Wega. I have no idea if the DRC is any better on NTSC (that's always been a serious deal breaker for me on all the HD-ready Wegas).
Anyway, it exists. It's the first 40" CRT with HD capability and almost certainly the last. I am expecting we'll see plasma at this price next year and, although the Wega will get cheaper, it is clearly an interim product.
