I have been looking at tv's for a while when Scott recommended the Sony 65" xbr, which I was considering, but after a while when I was ready to make a purchase was discontinued.Scott offered the Elite 70" refurbished one for the same price & said it was the best on the market which is correct.I had this tv delivered yesterday & the screen was cracked (that's just my luck) but they ran back to the shop & brought a good one.I am glad that I took Scott's advice & purchased the Elite, because this is one awesome tv!Scott was great to deal with & also recommended a Sony blue ray player & an Integra receiver that I am going to purchase in the future.Scott does a great job & really knows what he is talking about.
