The 596 is A CD Bargain and if, like me, you watch SD Music DVD's the picture and sound is fantastic.

All this HD hype will not apply to much of what I watch and the problem alot of people have, IMHO, is poor quality Screens, be they LCD or Plasma.

The Flat screen size (Depth) and styling are pushing sales, and I can see why but picture quality is poor � for �. I dont see why I should pay twice as much over my CRT for a worse picture.

For the next few years the 596 could be the bargain of a life.

Get one while you can, alot of people may regret selling.
