My Experience: Armed with holiday gift cards,we head out to purchase our big screen tv.Something to finally fill that hole above our fireplace.In the row upon row of flat screens and plasmas I break out the tape measure.I was limited to,basically,width only.None of the 50" would fit my dimensions.It suddenly occurred to me that I'm not even looking at picture quality.My wife says"Wow.Look at this picture!" With the exception of the tv's set up in the ultra high dollar home entertainment zone there wasn't a tv there that could touch this one.Absolutely gorgeous.And for just under $2000 you can't bet it.I'm no videophile or video gearhead or whatever you guys call yourselves but,I know a good clean picture when I see one.

Problems: Articulating wall mounts are so damn expensive.
