I don't know about everybody else but I'll wait till my current CRT TV dies. I am unsatisfied with the hype and specs of many of the TVs offered these days. If a lot of the low end stores they try to fool people into buying a piece of junk. Still offering 720p or 1080i? you have got to be kidding. I would go with a Desktop computer with a 28 inch LCD with a good resolution. at least a 1920 x 1200 with 8000:1 contrast ratio and 3 or 4 ms response time. and it your willing to blow the big bucks a 2048 x 1536 with 10,000:1 and 2 ms response time but that would cost a small fortune and are hard to find. that and dual SLI 8800 Nvidia cards and there shouldn't ever be an issue
