I have a Phillips 60" HDTV. It's an ugly gray and the speakers are pretty wooly sounding, but for $1500 US I've been laughing all the way to the bank. The picture is great!, the picture is huge! IMO buy the Phillips, save your money and 10+ years from now (when all this HD technology has sorted itself out) you can be sure that whatever you buy will be suitable for your needs then.
