There is a "back light" adjustment on the Samsungs, which I'm going to play around with a little more. But another thing I'm going to do is examine the 26 and 37 inch together, by swapping the hdmi input back and forth while viewing the same material. After making sure all of the settings are the same, that is. Both of them have (almost) the same picture settings. If the 26 inch 30,000:1 is much better than the 37 inch 70,000:1, then it's going back to the store. (I would get a plasma, if I could find a 35-38 inch, 1080p in the $700 price range. I did some extensive previewing with a movie I brought of the 55 in Panasonic Viera S1 and it was crap. Too much green that can't be adjusted out.)

Also, a question on the W100 and W3 in/on wall speakers. I may have to call Brent for this, but I need to know how close to a wall stud for the W3 and how close to a horizontal header (Ceiling on other side of wall is 38 inches up on mounting wall) for the W100 can I mount them?
