After doing my taxes and discovering a significant return (thanks to four mortgage payments) this deal on a 50" Plasma TV begged me to blow my money on it immediately. It satisfied my need for a good deal and was larger than any of my friends digital flat panel TVs. (Yes Ron, your projector is 158" but I did say digital flat panel!). With primary goals met, a quick check that my entertainment center would hold the TV (after a circular saw modification) was all I needed to click the BUY button. Today it finally arrived and barely fits, a beacon of consumerism in full 1080i glory. After discovering 480p DVD's now look crappy, I switched to on-air HDTV for the same breathtaking video my 42" Plasma displays, but with 8 more inches of it. What next? Upgrade the firmware naturally, and add an HD Tuner to my media pc, which now connects via HDMI. Apparently all those upgrades were too much for the Morlock to take, so he rammed his car into a curb and called for a tow.
