I'm in the market for a flat panel this year but it's very frustrating. I feel like an idiot trying to read the forums and all the techy stuff.
Then when I visit the store to eyeball these things, the clerks, even at high end stores turn out to be bigger idiots than me.
Screw the flat panel. Get a projector if you have a room you can darken. The experience CANNOT be compared. The Flat Panel is a BOX. The projector is just plain cool.

LOL I've been thinkin' HD flat screen wall-mounted for a while, will wait after Christmas.
My last big electronics purchase was a digital video camera. Did about 3-4 hours research online and in magazines before visiting Best Buy, Circuit City etc. to
actually see/hold a few. Found ALL the sales people knew less than I did, and all tried to steer me to higher priced models with features I didn't need. Completely worthless help, and scads of them ( have you seen how many pimply-faced teenagers there are running around Best Buy??!!) plus a lower price, even with shipping, led me to buy online, as I'll always do from now on.
