Nice! I've been himming and hawing around trying to figure out what I want lately. Ended up getting a new couch instead.
I'm stuck in the stone ages with a Hitachi 60" rear projection unit that my wife and I bought shortly after getting married. It was our first "big" purchase as a married couple, over 8 years ago.
There isn't anything wrong with it, but I'd like to know what's good to buy in case it fails on us. Then I don't have to buy without knowing what's good. We got lucky with it. Listed at $2200 and we walked out paying $1300 for it. Combination of sales, opening a sears card and the salesman having a migraine.
Regardless, I doubt we will be paying half for whatever we get next, so I at least want to know what I'm getting. Been really impressed with the samsung 50" LCD units.
All I do know is that anything smaller and we just aren't going to enjoy it as much. Also, anything we get next is going to require a new audio receiver to deal with HDMI and a new dvd/blue ray player... not looking forward to tacking another grand on top of a new shiny tv.
