Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P LCD. Picture is amazing particularly with blu-ray. Kinda glad my old tube TV died now...
It came down to the Samsung or the Sharp. The Samsungs were very nice, but they were a couple hundred dollars more, had a very reflective screen which would not have worked so welll in our family room due to a large window, and it had this reddish tint around the outside of the panel. They call it a touch of color. Not sure why they came up with that. There was also a brand new model, which had a blue tint, but that was even a little more money. So I went with the Sharp. Plus I got $100 off the blu-ray player of my choice by going with the Aquos. But I would have been very happy with either brand.

Cool, sounds like you got a nice TV!
Yeah, I got the one with the ToC, it was almost a deal breaker. Luckily, it is not visible at home.

I heard on the news that the price of the flat screen TV's will be coming down as many people are buying the digital conversion boxes and hanging on to those old TV's.

We still love our 50" Samsung DLP, got it when 720 dpi prices were dropping. Now I wonder if Blue ray is worth having on a 720DPI set.

I bought a Samsung DLP (61a750) before my LCD. It had great picture and it was huge! Unfortunately, a bug got inside the set and was visible on the screen soon after I purchased it. I return it for my current LCD. Sometimes I wish I would have tried another DLP, it really was a great price for a 61” 1080P set.

I would say no. 1080P is extremely sharp and you can only benefit from a 1080P TV. What you can do is get a high hef or an upconversion to high def DVD. The other thing to think about is it 720I or 720P - the I is less sharp than the P. I think that a 720P TV is slightly less sharp than a 1080I.
My old TV broke, we bought a high def model and NOBODY watches TV in high def. Whenever the Yankees were on and my kids just happen to be watching, I would turn it to the high def channel just to use it. My wife bought me the "Planet Earth" DVD set and with it on upconversion and in high def - it is amazing. I don't believe that upconversion gives true high def but it does something to the picture.
