pecker,

What are the price ranges for those 3? you might want to consider one of the Mits line, their smallest I believe is a 48in. RPTV. current model include ws-48311, ws-48411 or ws-48511 (integrated tuner) and these could be had for 1500 or less since they have the new models coming out, ie. ws-48413 if I'm not mistaken. the Mits widescreen RPTVs WILL give you the best looking RPTV (quality/image wise) at that price range after a professional calibration. Best thing is to look around and see for yourself. Advice: Don't be fooled by the way the TVs are shown @ the retail shops b/c they'll turn the contrast all the way up to make it look nice and bright.

ps: not Sony bashing or anything, but I'd stay away from a Sony when it comes to RPTVs

boohk it!! ;-)
