I don't know if I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but when you (and by "you", I mean the general you

) do buy an HD setup, do NOT buy the cables from Circuit City/Best Buy/et. al.

For example, ANY six-foot HDMI cable at Best Buy was in the $100 (yes one hundred dollar) range. For a stinkin' cable!!! I went to Orvac Electronics and bought a 15 foot HDMI cable for about $20 and could have purchased same on the internet for even less.

There is little margin in the big TVs for the retailers so they make up for it with the "add-ons".

My $.03 (inflation) on the subject (if you are in So. Cal and looking for a big/flat screen) is to go to Ken Cranes. Avoid Paul's: they are in a world of hurt.
