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.
