i don't know about you all, but i don't see the point of getting a flat screen, when you're gonna have "thick" equipment, such as DVD players, under it, wasting the space that was meant to be wasted.
so i look at DLPs, because they're ultra cheap. you can pretty much get a 60" screen (which is unbelievbly amazing) and 1080p (the p is very important) for about $2000.
i always go to www.techbargains.com and type hdtv. there's usually a samsung model that's nice. i looked at it in a store and it's very good.
Wow. do you even know that p stands for progressive, as in the scanning? The difference between 1080p and 1080i is virtually undetectable, unless you are watching something very fast paced, in which case interlaced is better. Learn what you're talking about BEFORE someone lectures you.
Ahh my friend, clearly you aren't a gadget whore like me. I don't really know exactly what thick things you are talking about. My DVD player is my mac mini, nothing thick about that. My video games are my Wii and xbox 360 which can be made slim by propping them on their side. There is my receiver, and you've got me there, its pretty clunky, but thats really about it.
The fact of the matter is, I live in a small space, so if I can essentially reduce 1+ feet from my TV, not to mention reduce the weight of the TV in the process (for future moves, etc) then it pays for itself. I have a 46" Aquos, do you know how deep that thing would be if it was a CTR? Do you realize that I would have to basically rearrange the small 1BR that I live in to facilitate such a beast? Aesthetics are worth something, just look at anything Apple :)
