Speaking of Costco, my sister and her husband are also looking to buy a new TV, and they would like to buy from Costco. I told them to go for 50" if they can, and that I would put a couple hundred dollars toward it for them, since I really don't want them to short themselves on screen size. I do visit them on occasion after all. Ha ha. If anyone has any recommendations on the models Costco carries, I'd love to hear them. My brother-in-law wants an LCD set. He's biased against plasmas for some reason.

Oh, and good luck with your search, too, David. laugh
