I just purchased their top-of-the-line 55" at Costco (in time for the Olympics) and am very impressed. I'm curious to see how the pricing will play out between Costco and ReSource Group's resellers, or if they will avoid the models sold at Costco?

I agree, Nuke. I saw that model at CES in January, and it is pretty neat. It certainly stands out among the pack of flat panels on the market in a different way!

Great news. Look forward to seeing the Visio line in Toronto. Would love to see the Cinemawide screen on display.
