They used Gladiator and the Fifth Element for SD as everyone does. For high def they used Blue-ray Pirates of the Carribean, HDDVD Batman Begins and something else that I can't remember. This Shootout was perfect timing for me. I am going to try to get a good price on the Pioneer 50" 5080 but if I can't then I'll just go with the 768p Panasonic (that wasn't reviewed in the shootout).
The copy of home theater magazine is probably still on the newsstands. If you are at all interested in purchasing a TV I highly recommend this issue since the shout out covered all of the major brands and all of the different technologies. But, only one technology was allowed per brand. So since the Sony sxrd was reviewed the Sony LCD's were not.
