One word of caution on the Slim models from Samsung. They can have serious geometry issues. You can test them easily by viewing the onscreen menu. Look at the outside edges of the screen for any upward "bowing". Mine was over an inch of curvature.

Samsung tried to tune my new 61" and the tech finally said exchange it. Circuit City fucktards said nothing was wrong with it until I pointed it out.

Feel free to come over and look at my Samsung 61" DLP looking fan-fucking-tastic with a 1080i Xbox 360 game playing.[/QB]
Compared to my Xbox putting out an analog signal I'm sure it does.

I believe that was on the the 56" and up models. I think there may have even been a class action suit about it as well. There haven't been any reports of that happening on the 50" or 46" models (yet?).

Well, I bought the Samsung HLT4675S from Circuit City for $850. [ThumbsUp] (got a 10% off coupon from eBay). Should be here tomorrow and I'll post pictures soon. Now, I just have to decide if I'm going to go back to cable or keep the Dish, but I'm not in any hurry. More happy that I'll be playing my 360 in HD. laugh

Well, after I got the Samsung hooked up, I decided that I didn't like DLP at all in my room. Sooo... I decided to do some research on LCDs. I found a great price at Frys for the Toshiba 42HL67 (42") at $999, but it was listed everywhere else for over $1300. I took my Samsung back to Circuit City and asked them if they would pricematch Fry's price on the Toshiba. They said they wouldn't because it's a wholesaler. Whatever, so I went to Conn's and told them I'd walk out of there right now if they would pricematch the $999. They did and I haven't looked back since. I'm very happy with it. I don't even have HD yet and my standard digital looks much better than on my CRT. Of course, the 360 looks incredible as well. As you can see, I also bought me some Halo 3. laugh
