Hopefully with certification, there will be an improvement in out of the box color, contrast, etc. than previous non-Elite models.

Nice to see prices starting to come down.

Would be nice to see content.

I'll be more interested when I can at least demo 4k. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Would be nice to see them settle on a cabling format for 4K before they release these TV's.

Currently to do 4K requires 4 HDMI ports. Joe Kane is pushing for Displayport to be the standard instead.

Displayport vs HDMI 2? Differences? Is HDMI 2 even spec'd yet? Color space handling?

I see an AV receiver with HDMI 1.4, 2 (or such) & some legacy (optical, etc) in my eventual future.

Displayport has no per port royalties... I don't know why everyone isn't hopping on that bandwagon...
