Unless you are just stuck on LCD and Sony you might want to try a Toshiba DLP.....I got one last year (62") and love it........plus the HD DVR and I don't miss a thing....
PS I actually ordered the thing online....saved $700....it was a bit scary spending $2700 for a tv from a company I didn't know however......(arrived in 3 days....via Fedex Freight) |

Sure, the picture is excellent. But I have a few issues with Toshiba. First TV we got, the bulb in the unit came dead.... so we returned it for a new TV. On the second TV, the bulb burnt out after 5 months of use. The first replacement was free under the manufacturers warranty, because it happened within a year, but at $250 a bulb, if this is the kind of bulb-life I can expect, the price of a Toshiba TV can increase drastically. |

You must have gotten a lemon.....or did someone touch the bulb when installing the replacement....(the oil from your hands can cause them to burn out early)..........I've had mine for almost a year and no problems......... |

Is that a self build or contracted? Either way it gives me something to shoot for.
Between my bar and the chip cabinet on Scott's forum, I'm going to be busy for a long time. _________________ <thwack> NOooooooBODY expects to lose to Rewind!

What to do with all the stupid shot glasses I bought in college:
a) Throw them away
b) Let them sit on the lower part of the bar countertop
c) Box them up
d) Give them away as awards at tournaments.
Actually, I was thinking that "d" is a really good way to get rid of crap I don't want anymore. _________________ --
