Anyone Know Anything About HUMAX and Their L3040 LCD?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I came across this set at J&R's website for $1,500. Seems too good to
be true. After searching a while, it seems J&R is the ONLY place this
set is sold (red flag!). Does anyone out there know anything about
HUMAX (I already know they make TIVO boxes with BIG HD's) and their
LCD line?

Thanks!
