Thanks Nash..

What I am finding anoying is all that 3D stuff.. don't need it, won't use it, etc.. I just want a HD tv that has excellent / top video quality with none of the fad of the year "features".. but that's life..whatever sells to the masses right ?

I think it will be between a Panny or Samsung..unless there is something else out there that is as good / better for less money ... Sony ? Sharp ? Hitachi ?
