This a larger version of my Sharp Aquos 37 inch LCD TV that I bought
last year for over $3K. It has performed flawlessly and while just 720p
capable produces an outstanding picture. Even with your 1080p set you
will find that many programs are in 720p so your tv will have to
convert.

Sharp makes the best LCD TV, bar none. Can't believe that the 45 inch
set has dropped to around $4k. They were around $6k last year. My only
advice is to get an in-home warranty for a few years past the Sharp
warranty to protect yourself and give some peace of mind.

Enjoy your set!
