Do you know anything about Sony's upcoming S-Series LCDs? They're actually cheaper than the current XBR, so that makes me wonder.

Is stretch mode unavoidable for 4:3? These two models seem to be the only ones I can find at the stores in my area (and the JVC is out of the question). The reviews for both have been pretty inconsistant, but I guess that's to be expected on the internet where people will either love it or...

I'm looking to decide between the Sony Bravia (KDL-V40XBR1) or a Samsung (LN-R408D). Anyone own any of these that can tell me about them? Or have opinions of either item, or other options for 40"? Thanks.

Is there much of a difference between the 408D and 409D?

Costco is selling the 50U for $3000 right now. Anyone have any reviews on this one? http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...opnav=&browse=

I'm trying to find a good Sports Armband Walkman. My Sony model died on me, and when I purchased the new Sony model, it had the most godawful reception I've ever heard! Even the strongest stations were coming in with a ton of static. You'd think that something that only receives radio waves...

I'm researching buying a plasma TV. How serious is this burn-in problem? Is it something that's a problem for all plasma TVs?

Tell them any damage they do to the TV comes out of their college fund. :)

So what's the verdict on your setup, Rich?

How big of a deal is this now?

What are the biggest price drops people are finding with the Panasonics?

Don't LCDs have a problem with darkening if your angle of viewing increases from straight foward?

I've been doing some research. I question how good some of these brands are that I've never heard of. I'd go Sony if it wasn't so expensive. Panasonic looks to be the route I'm going, but I want to also get the most out of my money.

I don't know if I want to buy at a B&M. I guess they're the best option in case something goes bad with the product, but the tax in my state is high, and the tax in my part of the state is super high. Though Magnolia Hi-Fi did have their no-tax sale the one time I went in there. So how is...

There's no timetable for me to buy, but I do want one. I've got a ton of DVDs. One of my friends suggested I buy a business model because I have a surround system already, but I want TV stations on mine. Plus I have a feeling all the extra stuff I'll need to buy to compensate for what it doesn't...
