Thanks for the "good luck" wish.

The weight of the 34" Sony is a concern. Trying to move my 27" Sony (100 - 110 lbs) is not easy given how the weight is so unevenly distributed. Jump up to a 200 lb version and things are downright scary. Fortunately, I do have the TV stand to handle even the 36" Sony (~ 235 lbs).

I have looked at the ED plasmas and the Panasonic 42" is very nice. The HD Pannies are also very nice but they didn't seem to be a huge jump in performance over the EDs, especially given the price jump. I think my preference of LCD over plasma is due to the difference in the crispness of the image; the Sharp LCDs always win that one it seems.

As long as the current 27" Sony holds up (it is ill), I'll be able to wait for more price drops.
