Okay, so here's the story thus far.
I am looking for an LCD tv, budget around 1000-1500$, somthing that will match up well with my PS3 I'm getting (when the 160gb version comes out at the end of the month) which I plan on using as a HTPC.
I was debating about how necessary having 120hz refresh rate is, given than there really isn't anything that runs at 120hz. I think I'd be better off just focusing on a TV with a fast response time of anything under 5ms.
I really doubt I'll have any HD source other than the PS3 hooked up to the tv either. (Basically just blu-ray, Ps3 games and linux.)
Just figured i'd ask which brands to stay away from and if anyone has any suggestions for me. Right now the LG's and Samsungs in the 46-52" range are my choices so far. Lemme know so I can watch the sales and hopefully get somthing in the next couple weeks.
Thanks again!
(Oh also.. are the extended warranties something that everyone generally would recommend? I've never had a problem with any other LCD monitor or projector i've ever owned. )
