Thank you very much for your advice guys. I think I have decided on a 51" and narrowed it down to 2 models. I found them both at Future Shop for Cdn$2,699. They are:

Sony KP51WS510
Hitachi 51F500

Any opinions? Since we will also be watching non digital sources, including some older VHS tapes for the kids, I want to make sure the conversion from analog signal will be adequate.

TIA,
Rocky
