Highly Ranked

"Best bet is to walk the wall at Best Buy and see which one's brightness/darkness stands out."

No, no, no, no, NO. That is NOT the best bet. It's not even a good bet. C'mon man! Do we really need to go over this again? The sets at Best Buy/Circuit City etc are not a true representation of the display's abilities. Many factors contribute to this: store lighting, bad settings(contrast through the roof!), certain brands pushed over others, etc.

Your best bet is to head on over to avsforum and read. A lot.

let Best Buy sell you some "MONSTER CABLES" that cost $100 for HDMI and $89.99 for Component.

Man I walked into a PC Richard to get some COMPOSITE cables to set up my friend's cheap "Protron" 42" LCD and those bastuds tried to sell me some $49.99 (x2) composite cables that looked so thick and covered with aluminum you might be using them to pump Helium or some other noble gas into some type of machine.

Do you really need all that?

Furthermore, I think ALL future recievers, home theater-in-a-box and steror equiptment should have HDMI passthroughs.
