Man, things are really complicated now.

Yeah, you could choose from 13", 19", or 25". If you picked the 25", you had to decide if you wanted just the tv or a console tv like most grandparents bought!

Seriously, now you really have to take some time and do some research. Especially for the $$, it's more of an investment that it used to be.

Still waiting for the price skimming to go down. Prices are droppping but not enough for me just yet. I think by the time the switch to digital cable takes effect prices on these tv's (LCD/DLP) should more closely reflect production costs rather than "new technology" novelty costs.

I understand. I took the dive into "big wide HDTV for football games" last year.

When my wife complained I was watching too much football, I told her "Look, they designed the TV for football games, don't you see how the screen is shaped like a football field?"
