I have been visiting local dealers and watching quite a lot of HDTV's. I have found none able to answer my more technical questions satisfactorily.I'll check into the Sony and I'll be studying up on what an "anamorphic squeeze" is in a little more detail. Thanks. In about a month or two I should be able to go from the 2-channel audiophile to the HT enthusiast plunge!

No problem.
I was amazed at the ignorant, stupid, made up, or just wrong answers I got from tons of salesmen about TV's. I stopped talking to them, it;s not my job to educate them. Assume they don;t know anything, always want you to buy something and preferrably the most expensive. More expensive=better in saleman talk in a lot of stores and we both know that is not true.goto
www.hometheaterforum.com Look in the TV and projector area and search their archives.
I did the same 3 months ago.What sucks is that even though you are going to spend $2k literally ALL of your options have compromises (only one component in on the Sony, no anamorphic squeeze for 480p on the Toshiba) that could have been cheaply rectified by the manuf., and that consumers really deserve for spending this much...
Personally I think if you spend $2k you should have no complaints.
Of course, thats the kinda thinking that wound me up with a $7k projector rig instead of a $2300 TV- oops...I have no complaints though.
And I will tell you that my video $ spent has brough a greater return, both in absolute terms and in the "less diminishing returns" area when compared to the money I spent on audio.
You are in for a treat.dg
I personally am an electronics salesman and I don't really appreciate the stereotypes. If you had to try to keep up on ALL the new technologies on not only TV's, but all A/V gear for both home and car audio, you would see that it is not always easy to have ALL the answers. I know that there are some salesmen that don't have a clue, but that doesn't mean we are all out to get you. Some, like myself, will go the extra mile to get you the CORRECT answers if they are within my reach. If not I am not to good to say "that is a great question to be honest I am not sure". People like you do all this research because you enjoy it and get benefit from it, and that is great for you, but when I leave work after selling this stuff all day or night, I don't always feel like digging in and trying to read up on what was newly introduced today. I come here on this site to try to learn and keep up as much as I can and feel like doing. It is a shame to come here and be insulted.
