USB Sync Dock is the EXACT same thing with HDMI port, HD Radio Antenna, and Optical Output. It's just lacking those HDMI cable, Composite Cable and USB Adaptor which are cheap individually. You can get HDMI, USB Adaptor, for as low as $3 each including shipping. Don't need to worry about the quality coz it's 720P only and I've compared to $3 cables to monster, they are the same!

I just don't understand when basic connectivity became such a premium feature that it's worth more than a third the cost of the original device. I guess I can just vote with my dollars and not buy one =\

I also think it is over priced but here are some reasons it pry costs so much.1) Includes an HDMI cable2) Integrated HD radio antenna (usually uses the headphones as the antenna)3) Optical audio out.Here is the address to a video where you can see all this information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm7yJSXthz0

It will most likely go down sooner or later. You have to remember that the ZUNE HD hasn't even come out yet, so the accessories will be a lot.

Um, the justification being that it lets you plug the thing into your HDTV so you can watch movies in HD (well, 720p, but it's good enough). Don't care about that? Buy the regular dock for about half the price.

Mike,Just get the USB Sync Dock, it's the same but lacking HDMI cable, USB AC adaptor, and Composite cable.Both Docks from HD AV and USB Sync have the exact same dock and Remote Control.Choose wisely for $40 more on HDMI Cable, USB AC adaptor and Composite Video cable.

While all that is true, I find it odd that someone buying a 4k TV would be using TV speakers at all. If you actually care about sound you'd have a separate receiver. I personally wouldn't want the side speakers as the first thing I do with any TV is disable the internal speakers to use my 5.1 surround speakers. Seems aimed at people that just want to brag about an expensive fancy looking TV while not actually knowing/caring about their setup. Now if they make a version without the ugly speakers, I'd consider it. Also assume there will be a lot of revisions to the 4k standard once more content comes out, and will wait for a 'real' 4k set rather than one designed primarily for upscaling 1080p sources.

This isn't being offered from Amazon...just a third party vendor for now. The price isn't Amazon's fault, but they certainly should sell it themselves. This is one of the hottest projectors available and I'm sure they would sell a bunch if the price was competitive.

Thanks, Vee. My husband looked at the pdf manual yesterday afternoon and wrote this from work: "This is their page, and on the `support` tab you can see the entire manual in pdf form. I glanced at it, it does not have a headphone socket, but it has a digital audio output socket. You can get digital audio headphones for about $25-30.?"So I think we are getting somewhere now. We are going to look at the actual television at a local store, talk with the salespeople, then probably come back to purchase from Amazon, which has the lowest price.My husband is not an electronics expert, so going to see for ourselves will be the best confirmation, yet.

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.

I know I am going to get blasted for this. I personally think that as far as Blu-Ray standalones that this player is the best option available. That being said investing over $400 in one of these when you don't have an HDMI V1.3 display (1080p/24p) is just plain insane as you are spending a whole bunch of extra money with technology that you won't use until you upgrade your set/projector. I would go with a Toshiba A3 which has 720p/1080i capabilities and costs a whopping $118.49 shipped. If nothing else the price difference is significant enough that you could make use of it until the prices on things like the panasonic or the better HDTV sets comes down to the point where it is more affordable.

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

Overpriced...yes..anyone who pays anything over 100 dollars for headsets needs to have their head checked...if you look on the official site they are saying 200 to 400 dollars for these things..seriously!!! Game consoles cost that much and they are going to charge that much for these things...ridiculous!

Excuse me, Are you sure you bought this item the Onkyo TX-SR707 for $499? I am looking for one, and it is in almost $700.

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130. It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

I have my computer hooked up to the tv. So I took a sound cable between both, and a HDMI cable. The sound cable was 13$ at best buy. I hope this answers the question

Seriously? Do you not realize how many people make or lose more in an hour than what this TV costs? If you had purchased 100 shares of Amazon in May, 1997 (for about $1785) then you'd have the money for this TV now. So what did you spend the $1785 on that was so important? Would it really have been so hard to save that much up? If not, then why are you even shopping for this? Sheesh! Why do so many people refuse to be rich these days?

The best thing you can do after you buy these is sell it to another suckered after you upgrade your DVD player ,console , cable box ect....I resold it to a friend for $30 lucky me .

its called dont buy it right away. sony will be better than hd dvd just be patient, and like the other poster said the low end ps3 will be 500 dollars............half the price with a little patience. personally though im going to get the high end ps3 for 600. either way sounds much better than 1000.

I am seriously thinking about getting this tv through BB later today. I've looked around the web and the cheapest is here on Amazon for $1199.Getting it from BB after tax would save me $324 and that is significant enough to want to upgrade my 46" 8 year old LCD tv, even though my wife will give me grief. =^)
