Tax Return Purchases, What have you got on your list? Options

[Supersprynt]

Inspired by Randy's recent purchase and my obsessive searching for the perfect TV, I am curious with what other people are thinking about treating themselves with.

I have basically narrowed down weeks of research into HDTV with a choice of the Samsung 40'' LCD 1080p HDTV with the addition of the Oppo DV-981HD 1080p upscaling DVD player. I don't feel comfortable purchasing an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player just yet as who knows when this war will end so this upscaler is the best on the market and should hold me over. Shame I won't have it before tomorrow afternoon but it's exciting!

Current Plasmas and LCDs will be good up to about 60,000 hours, which if your running it 8 hours a day, will last you 20 years. The technology will be updated a lot faster than that, and I go through technology rather quickly. I'm very not worried about that.

Get the TV size that's suitable for your average viewing distance.
