DEL.ICIO.USHDTV buying guide
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you’ve postponed purchasing an HDTV in the hope that the prices would go down and the quality goes up, you’re in luck. All that happened.
That problem has passed but there’s still an ironic roadblock … there are so many decent to good sets out there that it’s difficult to chose.
I’m linking to a review - just click here - that offers some solid critiques.

What many don’t realize is that an HDTV is merely one component of the, uh, big picture. Assuming you have sat-tv (instead of cable-crap): You must have an HD receiver/5 LNB dish setup (and getting aimed at all 5 satellites is not as easy as aiming that circular dish). You’ve got to pay extra for HD access. Then, you must tune to HD programming, which is increasing, but is still far from universal. And, even when it;s in HD, not all HD channels are created equal. Locally Fox 5 is not 16X9 during the news and the sound is not DD 5.1. Et cetera. So, be warned: don’t think you can just buy an HD set and just sit right back and see Gilligan’s Island in HD.

The linked review sets/prices are not alluring. From amazon.com: a Samsung 56-inch DLP 1080P with LED color wheel for under $1400. No shipping or sales tax. Now that is bang for the buck.
