Julia's Family has graciously gifted to me as a house warming gift a brand NEW Samsung HDTV. "It is breath-taking!"I like to do alot of research especially when purchasing electronics. Research could take a couple months before purchase to familiarize yourself with the product and how the market effects the price. Its a good idea to also learn as much about the product as well as its competition.
Before I buy something one of the best places to start is cnet.com (Click here for review) following that is of course a Google search for the best price which I found through Amazon for roughly $1500. Today it looks like you can get it for about $100 less out the door.
Amazon.com Product Description--March 24, 2008
Samsung's 550 Series is a perfect way to step up to Full HD 1080p resolution. A fast 5 ms response rate produces smooth-motion scenes for sports and action movies, and a dynamic contrast ratio of 30,000:1 makes for deep blacks and crisp lines.
Superb connectivity and networking with a USB port and 3 HDMI 1.3 ports with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) means these HDTVs play well with all of your other electronics. Easily enjoy MPEG and JPEG files stored on external devices by connecting through the side-mounted USB 2.0, turn your LCD into a full-scale home viewing gallery, or connect your MP3 player for a dynamic audio experience.

video or PC sourcesI love this NEW TV! and it will look great over the fireplace, once I've mounted it over the small tv niche.
