My DLP recommendation is...plasma. Had to support my camp.

Seriously, I've seen a few of the Samsungs, very nice. In fact, if I wasn't going for the flat panel, I would've went this route. Regarding 1080p, is it really worth paying for it? (Though I don't know the cost differential.) Yes, HD DVDs are coming w/ the new format war, but it'll probably never come as a broadcast format for a long time...
