BigWill, think about this one. Trek on out to your local store and take a look at the 42" EDTV Plasmas next to the HDTVs. You'll be surprised at how little difference there is and you can get a good brand (Panny?) for excellent $$ without giving much up. I think my second setup will follow that route.

If you want HDTV, I really like my Sony GWII LCD. A 42" GWIII will come in pretty reasonably. Just thinking out loud.
