Default Organic LCD tv??

Sony just sent me an e-mail promoing their new Organic LCD tv.
Sure sounds good, (34 watt power consumption, 1 million to one contrast
ratio, super slim etc...) but think I'll wait until Consumer Reports
compiles some data and comes up with a rating.


Have you had good luck with CR? I have found over the years that
when they review a tool or something that I have had for awhile,
my opinion is diametrically opposed to theirs. If they like it,
I hated it. If they hated it, I loved it. If I thought it was
OK, they thought it was OK.

Hard for me to use them as a source for reviews, unless I find
something that they hate, then I can buy it with confidence.
When I was subscribing to it, I did a little survey for my own
self and they got it wrong about 8 out of 10 for me.

What did it for me was when they hated the Yukon that I was
driving. The thing that put it over the top was that they said
that the interior and instrumentation was "primitive". What the
hell does that even mean?

YMMV
