I have been playing with the idea of getting Comcast digital cable. I'm paying $100 a month for cable & Internet now, why would I want pay $45 more a month for only 7 to 9 digital channels? Someone please convince me!
I bought a 50" Samsung HDLP in the summer of 2005 and love it! When they first brought it in, I cringed because it was so big. Somehow they never look that big in the showroom. My sister has a Panasonic 42" Plasma, and I believe the picture on mine is better than the Plasma. Earlier this year I upgraded to a Samsung home theater system. The only problem I've experienced is with the cable system, not the TV itself. If your TV is connected to a cable box, you can't use the auto-volume menu option. I find that commercials (specifically those made by local businesses) tend to be louder than the programs I am watching. I was told by Time Warner that there is nothing that can be done about it. I do use their DVR/Cable box, and record most of the programs I watch, so I just fast-forward through the commercials to alleviate the volume problem.
