Tomorrow I'll have a 46 inch sony LDC TV and the Vikings get the late game.
Sorry I felt it necessary to tell everyone, but we've been planning and saving to buy this TV for over a year now. Exciting times!

Doorbuster yes, camping out, no though my room-mate left the house at 3:30am.
My room-mate's family lives in BFE ... they went there over the break and were the 2nd one to get the TV lol ... with Tax and a 3 year coverage plan it was like $1100 which is pretty good, at least what I've been reading.

I have a 37 inch LCD 1080 and its awesome
just a warning though you might want to look away when they huddle up
if the camera if focused in tight. You get a lot of detail you might not want too see.

Maybe you need to invest in some adult entertainment channels and movies to make up for that. After all, you are an adult and you need entertainment.

Just saw the topic. Congrats! I'm enjoying the hell out of the 52" Samsung LCD 1080 HD I got a few months ago. Only #### is that our Mediacom box doesn't have an HDMI input, so I'm not getting the most out of it (which pisses me off). But Blu-Ray (and PS3 games) looks phenomenal.
Quick dumb story: the TV was a lot bigger than our previous one. For a week every time we turned it on our cat would dash to the basement. Apparently he thought the people on the TV were real. To his credit, they are pretty much life size. So I've come to the conclusion that your TV isn't big enough until it freaks out your pets.
Again, congrats! (I feel like I'm saying this to someone who just had a baby. When, in reality, this is so much better).

That's just too funny! I can imagine my cats doing the same thing!
