    who is happy with their 2005 hdtv purchase

    I'm thrilled with my HD purchase. I went from a 27" Samsung SD TV to 56" 1080p Toshiba DLP. If that's not a big jump, I don't know what is.

    OK, so...Sammy V. Tosh DLP's any input?

    I went with the Tosh 56HM195 about a month after they appeared in my local big box store. Still haven't gotten around to calibrating (don't have a disc), but I love the picture on this set. Just put it through a rigorous test- an all-night movie marathon consisting of six movies (The Man...

    Locations To Purchase HD/Br DVD's/Players?

    Hey all, I've been following the threads on Blu-ray/HD-DVD pretty closesly, and I got to wondering about which retailers are going to be even carrying this stuff. Is it going to be any and all from the get-go, or will it be online only? Has there been any word on this?

    As a sales weenie for a big box company (Sears), I gotta agree with everything that has been said here to this point. I recieved no meaningful training when I started in their electronics dept.
