That Phillips LCD sounds pretty nice. I remeber the last time I was looking at LCDs, the Phillips models were my favorite.

I do have a question though. Where did you get that quote in your signature? It sounded like BS, but I did the math anyway, and found that he was off by a factor of 10. So the entire population of the world could fit in Texas at 1/10 acre per 4 people, although that includes lakes and other uninhabitable places. I know that is is off-topic, but it was such an outlandish claim I had to check for myself.

That 47" is a monster deal, depending on what kind of Philips the TV is... does anyone see a model number listed anywhere?

He posted it months ago here. I'm glad you can see that it's not me saying it.

Best Buy in store has a 42" 1080P LCD no rebate for $699 if no one wishes to wait for shipping, or wait even for a rebate. 2 flavors, Plasma 720P or LCD 1080P same price. If you use your reward points you will get a Gift Card in the mail that may pay for the tax on it too.

The entire population of the world could fit in the state of Texas with 1 full acre per family of 4. This is a cold hard fact. There is no population problem, that's just scientific propaganda...

Read it again. It's meant to be a joke, but it seems no one got it.

And there IS a population problem. Overpopulation has nothing to do with density, NOTHING.

"Overpopulation is not a function of the size or density of the population. Overpopulation is determined using the ratio of population to available sustainable resources."

Even if everyone was in texas their would still be a resource problem, and therefore, still be an overpopulation problem

Be advised: I have a Phillips 42" (Model number is at home). I'll be taking mine back to Costco shortly. Been noticing a lot of motion blurr especially with NFL in HD. Also, it tends to happen more often when the TV heats up after being on for a few hours.
