Hey RFG,
I disagree with some of the advice below. 42" is a very popular size for 8-12 foot viewing. A 50" is harder to accomodate in average rooms. It depends on your priorities. I am even considering a 37" even though the 2-3 time a week I am watching a movie I could easily enjoy a 50. As far as Extended Def vs. Hi Def. goes it dependes on your viewing. Yes, sports and cable freaks can't get enough of the Hi Def. We watch a few hours of plain Jane network programming a week plus DVD movies. If you don't view alot of hi def programming then you can shop for the best picture quality on an ED set and save some $.

The Panasonics seem to be the reining champs of ED. Go to avsforum.com
and select displays then plasma. Huge wealth of info. There is a power
buy through AVS on a Samsung 42" for about $3200. It does have the tuner but no speakers. It has been fairly well reviewed. I went down to a Seattle dealer Plasma USA last night. The Samsung just didn't come close to the Panasonic it was next to in picture quality.
I won't try to describe, just encourage you to check it out. I'll be looking for a buy on the current model panasonic 37 or 42 inch when they release their new models (any time in next month or 2)
