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. -------------------- |

Taking that for truth is like agreeing with all manufacturers mpg ratings, that's not the realistic majority lifetime, especially with plasmas. I used to work for ViewSonic. Yeah, I don't plan on keeping tv's that long anyways. True on the sizes. --------------------  She's Alive...... Again!!!
