$15k? Who can afford this?

It's great that these new TV's are being produced, but $15k is way too expensive. For far less you can but a top of the line Apple tower and the large cinema display, which then not only gets you TV but a computer too.

The price of these things needs to come WAY down before it makes market sense.

I'd just buy a projector...

I'd just buy a really good projector that supports quality picture and also allows me to go larger than even the biggest LCD/Plama screen. And yea, these things are soo overpriced right now.
