  From what I understand, some of the Samsung sets will have optional built-in HDTV tuner. Not a big deal to some but I like the idea because it eliminates yet another 'box' taking up space in my equipment rack. I do watch OTA HDTV now with my external tuner.

  If I could, I think I would get plasma but at my elevation the plasma screens buzz. DLP looks very good but I still think plasma looks better. Anyone?

    I really liked the look of their next models that stand on a single "pillar". But then I started to wonder where would my center channel speaker go? Can't go under the TV, and putting it on top isn't practical, unless they provide some sort of a shelf, which I don't think they do (and the concern about the screen picking up and transmitting the vibrations from the speaker.

      I saw that DLP model with the single pillar support. You have a good point about where to place the center channel speaker. With my CRT set, I have the center channel on top. It would take up too much rack space so even if placing it on top of the set isn't ideal, it's most practical for me in this case.

        You just know that a lot of guys are going to fall for how cool it looks, then get it home and ask themselves where to put the center speaker. Can't go underneath, and can't go on top (there's almost no ledge on the Sammy DLP's, unless you build one, and the chassis is so lightweight, vibrations from the center speaker would probably cause the screen to resonate).

        That leaves wall mounted speakers. But unless you recess TV into the wall, it's going to stick out a couple of feet, which will look a little strange, but might work ok.
