This TV was also reported in the Sunday New York Times Section 2 (Arts and Leisure) for February 10. The list price will be $1200. I apologize for forgeting the model #. The set is a 25" diagonal one and for an additional $200 you can get a pedestal for it with self contained controls. The alternative method to control it is the standard remote control. This TV is supposed to really be great. It will have improved definition. According to what I've been reading on this net, almost all TV's on the market don't make use of the information contained in the TV signal to the fullest extent. This machine does, according to the reviewer. Evidently improved definition can be achieved without new broadcasting standards for the reason that most TV's don't measure up. This set has more color dots. My question is: does anyone reading this know what the discounted price will be for this new TV? --J. Abeles
