I'm look at a 40-42 inch plasma or LCD for the bedroom . Aside from having
an extremely nice picture, the Samsung models I'm looking at have their
speakers mounted beneath the screen, using up no additional room on the
horizontal axis. Since this is going into a TV cabinet, I can get a set
with a screen 3 - 5 inches larger than otherwise.

Jiminy Christmas!
I looked at a beautiful Sharp DLP 32" unit for [WHAT?] US$4500 [!!] then
downgraded my desires to a 26" LCD Samsung with good specs, and even *that*
picayune unit goes for $1259!
Now, that's a whole lot better, but these prices are way hurtin'!
I'd like to have a 30-32" unit, but that's a shade this side of $2000.
Plasmas don't even _start_ until you get past 32 or 36" wide. Prices like
almost 1/3 the price of a decent car, so that's forget it time!
Dang! Unless the street prices are a whole lot less than that, we'll wait
some more or until the current Sony takes the final plunge!
What I'm saying is, I want to pay cash, not put it on a time payment basis.
I'm totally OUT of debt, first time in my life, and want to stay that way!
Bottom line? I guess I should have paid closer attention to TV prices during
those 13 years while my good ol' Sony was hanging in there.
keith <== still shell shocked!

I've been impressed with the Samsung TVs as well. I'm looking for a 50-inch
plasma. So far the very best seems to be Pioneer Elite. In terms of picture
quality, Sony is a distant fourth behind Pioneer, Samsung and Phillips.

Huh? If you walk into any high end AV section of an electronics store,
you'll be surprised by how well Samsung's (super) large LCD, HDTV, etc,
offerings stack up against the best Sony's, etc. out there. I was
certainly surprised.

Shopping for a new TV.... I do admit that Samsung is top of my short list
right now...
