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.

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.
