Regarding 32" and larger HDTV's under $1499, I have a difficult decision to make. The LCD, Plasma @ BB or CostCo's Philips 32" LCD for $1299 which has awesome specs. CostCo offers me 2% cash back and they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee which they actually stand by. 5 years from now if it breaks I can return it for a refund or replacement. No other retail store will do that, well worth the annual membership. Still $1299 is a little steep I wish it were closer to $1099 or $1199.
