Skipper,
You just convinced me to wait a few years, it seems the technology is
changing so quickly I am going to wait for the dust to settle. I don't
want to buy a "Beta VCR".

In reality, with 2 kids in college, I was going to wait anyway. ')

Really, the Samsung DLP is a great picture and at the right price TODAY.
Check the 'big screen TV' reviews that compare plasma, LCD, vacuum, and
DLP technologies. You'll get a view of the competing systems. Remember,
we go full digital in '09. You'll just be seeing more and more letterbox
in the interim.
