Also, I'm willing to wait a short while if something much better is just on the horizon.

When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."

First you'll probably want to go with either a Mitsubishi Plat+ or Diamond.. Either 55" or 65"

I would go with the 65" for 跌 more: < http://store.yahoo.com/crazyeddieonline/gensym-181.html >

Print that price match and go to every Sears store with in 50 miles until they match the price. Eventually someone will match it.
Crazy Eddie is not authorized to sell Mits, so it voids the warrenty. Sear is authorized. So you can get Crazy eddies price, but at an authorized store.

Next you'll want to get an ovation Avia Home Theater guide DVD in order to calibrate your set to NTSC standards.
Search the net for the lowest price. They retail at โ bucks, but are worth 贄's if you consider the cost of a professional calibration.

Next, become a member of the Home Theater Spot. It's free and they will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about WideScreen TVs! < http://www.hometheaterspot.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi >

Last, pay the ำ bucks to get a Red Push Fix. By default TVs are calibrated to look their best under the flourecent lights of a showroom, once you get your tv home and calibrated to NTSC standards, you'll notice everyone looks sunburned. Mitsubishi has locked the setting out of the Service Menu, so this guy built this device to attenuate the red from the component wire.

Ahh hell, just read this thread. I bought 2 of these. One for HDTV signals, and One for DVD signals... Once you get a component switching reciever such as the Onkyo THX Ultra 7.1 reciever, you'll only need one...

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Just be warned... Buying the TV is only the first step. Next you'll need a good reciever, then speakers, then a touch screen remote, then an HDTV Set Top Box, then a killer roof antenna, then a Progressive Scan DVD player, then an Iscan Pro Line Doubler..... Then the technology changes and you get to start all over...

I've been doing this for years. Everytime I buy something, something better comes out.

The Marantz SR-19 decodes DTS, is THX compliant, has multi room support, 3 or 4 digi inputs, lots of analog inputs, and sounds fucking FANTASTIC.

It sounds better than a movie theater.

am i the only one who doesn't like the way a movie theater sounds? surround sound is good but in a theater its just to FUCKIN LOUD. they never turn that shit down so i come out after watching the fast and the furious and my goddamn ears are bleeding. i guess what i'm trying to say is how the hell can you compare something to a movie theater if you can't hear the movie after the first 5 min?
