I checked out that site. Thanks. It is a wealth of information. I was looking at the Samsung HLN5065W last night at a local retail outlet. I think I'll wait just a bit longer for either the HD2+ models or maybe the xHD3 later this year. It would also be nice to have a built-in HDTV tuner to save rack space (no external tuner) as I am able pick up a handful of HD broadcasts in my area.

Even the current Samsung HLN5065W model is pretty impressive but it seems that worth while improvements are just around the corner. Thanks again for the info.

BTW, I've been saving my money for a plasma screen and hoping that they would fix the buzzing problem at altitude. I'm at 6500-ft and nearly all plasma screens buzz loudly due to our atmospheric pressure and the gas pressure within the screen. Direct view LCD is still too expensive and too small so DLP RPTV may make the most sense for me. From what I read, we can expect the next generation of sets to be a little thinner too. Whoo who!
