Mine is going strong also...just wish HD receivers were cheaper so I can get one.

I got the Samsung SIR-T151 off of ebay for ~$130 shipped. Add a $25 Silver Sensor antenna and you've got free HDTV assuming you live near a metropolitan area. Let's see, how many months of cable does that equal?
 
Question for you guys who ordered, when you got your tracking number what format did you use to enter it on the watson shipping thing? i can't get any info

Mine shipped via Pilot Air. I was providied a PRO number from Electronics Nation's web site. I plugged the PRO number in over at Pilot Air and wallah! - tracking info.

You could always email Electronics Nation and they'll tell you what to do.
 
Tried to order one last week, but there was some issue becasue my billing address is different than the shipping address. Attempted to contact the vendor multiple times, but got no response whatever. Anyone have a phone number for these guys? I'd really love to get this set rather than a refurbed 32" (fullscreen) that's more commonly available for $700.00
 
I love the TV and its still going great for me but if I had to chose right now between this $600 TV or the Toshiba on sale at Amazon.

I was oggling at this TV for a while and it was around $1200++. This is one of the few tube TV with a DVI input.

I'm happy with my unit. I saw the Toshiba deal last week too. You'd pay shipping ($69) and tax too. But then you'd also get a new unit instead of a refurb and it'll do 720p.

FYI, the 30PW9819 for $850 has a DVI input though it's not currently in stock.

Be glad you didn't get the Toshiba, it has a horizontal jerking to the left problem when displaying high definition. I was going to buy until I found this out, I decided to wait for the 2004 models that are coming out soon.
