"very difficult to judge any of these TVs in store"

Without a doubt. They each have their own visual strong points during various scenes. You like one model one minute, then the one next to it the next minute.

I know price does not determine quality level, but I have learned over the years that if you buy cheap it will show, and you eventually buy twice. I try to find that middle ground of quality features and solid build at a "reasonable" price.

Friends keep telling me about such and such store having a 46" LCD for $500. What they don't understand are the specs, or lack thereof, behind that price. I want high contrast ratio, 120hz, 4ms. You won't find those specs in a 46" set under $1000. And it's those specs that will make a great TV stand out from a good one. Based on what I am seeing, anyway...
