s/verdict/jury/ ?

It's a tough call to make.  I want something dead silent and I'm
prepared to put up with a little slowness if I can get it.  I've read
that the 330 uses more power and needs more cooling.

The Revo supports up to 2GB.  I have a really hard time imagining why
more than 2GB would be needed for video playback, even at 1080p.

I replaced my last 480i set a couple of months ago.  I hadn't planned
on it, but the old set failed and I wasn't about to buy another.  So
at the moment, my mvp is connected to a 24" 1080p set.
