Gotcha.
Do to our needs we plan to get a stand. Heck we are even eyeballing our 20yr old chuncky big screen on its wheels as a stand.
The main tv viewer of the house is a quad so tv needs to be high up for viewing in prone position yet turn to other side of living area when in Wheel Chair ect.
I did a quick search back over at Consumer Reports and it concurs with your last post.
I would like to see the Hewlet Packard and like the idea that they come to the house and set it up and it has a 1yr warrantry.
CReports says it can not report on longevity issues thus far so it suggest an extended warranty but at no more than10-15% of the cost of the tv.
Yup, and buyer beware. Most of the "matching" stands that are sold with the sets are barely 15" deep ... which is perfect for the set itself, but useless if you've got full size AV electronics to go in it ... they require depth of at least 19" and maybe a tad more what with the 800 miles of cables in a normal hookup config.
