Better hurry - sometimes systems ship a lot sooner than they tell you they will :)
You might want to stop in a Best Buy or Circuit City & have a look at all the different TVs. It's very confusing, esp w/ all the choices & different technology - LCD, Plasma, HD, ED, DLP, rear projection, front projection, blah, blah, blah..... Look at their different models & compare the picture of different types & sizes. Also, make sure you look at video from a standard (non-HD) broadcast as well as DVD & HD source. They will all look good in HD, but you will find some look worse than a regular old TV for standard broadcast stuff. That was the mistake I made when I bought my JVC projection model. It's picture is incredible in HDTV, good for DVDs, & disgusting for regular TV broadcasts. Our cable only has about a dozen HD channels - so the other zillion are regular format. That's why I'm so happy w/ the plasma I bought. Regular broadcast TV looks fantastic on it. It does gray or black out the sides to get the 4:3 ratio. Or you can have it expand it to fill the screen which does "squash" everything a bit, but the quality of the picture is still outstanding
I saw the Vizio TVs at Sam's Club yesterday. First time I saw them. The picture quality looked every bit as good (or better) than their other brands & the prices were very reasonable. Of course that was from a HD signal & no telling what other formats will look like, but worth checking out.
