Pfft they didn't include the new samsung xx61 and xx65 series? They're the new star on the block in 1080p LCDs.

I still dont understand why TVs move at those prices when you can get a friggin projector.

I only want a TV at sub $1000.

Some of us don't have the required light control or space for a projector.

I'd rather not have to replace a bulb at a couple hundred bucks a pop every few years. I went with a 65" CRT projection for a little over $1k.

The logistical hassles of a projector are hard to ignore. One day I'll definitely have a dedicated media room with a projector, but for the time being I want something to flip on and watch the news. My 50" set is still great, and much easier to turn on and have a good experience with than a projector.

What do 1080P projectors run these days? I honestly don't know since I don't follow them, but I somewhat doubt you can get a feature set equivalent to my TV at the price I paid, much less below it.

Samsung HLS-6187W, paid $1797 3 months ago.

bingo.

But I agree, I don't think I could spend more than 1k for a TV. then again, I don't have a dedicated media room.

No one pays retail for TVs anymore. So those prices are already inflated and they're not even out yet.

Well, only the uninformed pay retail for TV's.

I paid about $400 under their advertised price in that week's ad when I bought mine.

I still see it advertised at hundreds more than I paid, I'll probably cry when I see it finally cheaper.

Hitachi rear projection CRT FTW? I got the 51" model for a little over $700, it has a beautiful, sharp HD picture.

Samsung has a few models on the way, but in the 50" range.
