Great choice. :)

I actually like the pedestal, but I think it's pretty hard to match with most rooms.

Picture quality on that unit is great. Makes me kinda sad that most people don't realize the superiority of the HD2+ chip over the HD3.

I bet it costs WAY too much for me.

I wont spend over $750 for a tv.

Last one I spent like $350 for.

Oh and I won't go to walmart's either to save a few dollars.

56" DLP

its dubbed "captain Kirk" due to its spacey look. I dont care much for hte pedestal, but the picture quality rocks!

what do you think?

hah, one of those came of our truck today at CC.

That is the tallest damned box I've ever seen, we couldn't shelve it with the rest of the bigscreens because of its height. Heh. Musical bigscreens is my favorite game.

I thought so too, but was wrong:

Samsung HD2 Plus Optical Engine
- Single Panel Digital Micro-Mirror Device (DMD) Design for a Crystal Clear Picture
