How close will you be sitting? Do you care whether you can distinguish the difference between standard def and high def while watching it?

If so, and if your viewing distance is farther than about 4 feet, then you’ll want a larger screen size,

Sorry, but that’s the way it works with HD stuff. There’s a chart I could link you to that shows the set sizes required for various viewing distances. But only if it’s important to you to see the difference between SD and HD.

Have you looked at all the review sites? They’re as good or better than the anecdotes here. That’s how I picked up my Hannspree model which was, surprise!, identical to a much more expensive recommended JVC model. There are over 80 LCD TV brands on the market, I learned, but certainly not the same number of manufacturers. (Hint: few manufacturers produce 80+ brands.) That is the insight I can pass on.

Also, some survey discovered that most buyers regret not getting a bigger screen, which is why I picked 37’’ after thinking I wanted a 32’’, and it is the reason why Circuit City, when I went there, had lots of discounted returned models. I bought from Buy.com, by the way.

I picked up a Vizio 32inch 1080P from Costco for $549.00
had it about 3 weeks...it's awesome. I like the picture better than my Sony 50 inch

Hey, just heard. The government will give you one for free. Just call 1-800-BAILOUT. :)

When you finally get your new tv, what time do you want us all over to watch the game with you?

And be sure to stock up on plenty of beer because we get thirsty.

We have a slightly smaller Vizio than what you want. Great tv and fantastic picture. DO NOT ever, never, under any circumstances buy an RCA.
