Hey there Wheelz999.

It seems like a lot of the SXRD televisions are made in the USA. For example, see story at http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06200/706728-28.stm

If this is true, couldn't you import the KDS55A3000 without needing to pay duty/tariffs? If it is on Sony's website at $2,000 ($1,933), I'm betting it can be obtained even cheaper elsewhere in the US. EX: according to pricegrabber.com, Vann's has it for $1,700 USD or ~$1,644 CAD.

I'm also looking at TV's but I use my set almost solely for movies, and supposedly, as you likely read too, the newer 120 Hz refresh televisions are purported to be much smoother/more pleasant for hi def viewing.

Can anyone confirm that USA SXRD tv's are made in the US?

I also read that Panasonic Viera's are made in Mexico, which should afford them the same duty free treatment (I'm currently waiting on confirmation from Canada Border Services on that one).
