*delurks again*
I have a better question. How many people can get a 50 inch set into their
homes? Okay, maybe the new homes or if you got a nice slide open back door
to the living room but some homes are like tricky obstacle courses for
delivery people. :)
I think I could get away with a 42 inch LCD and that's pushing it really.
But aren't the 50 inch etc those thicker rear projection sets?

Me? Not getting burnt. I wait until both camps actually see sense and get
a format out that works for all. Maybe the dual blu-ray/hd-dvd format will
sort this mess out. This whole format war is seriously going to slow this
down and it won't get to the same uptake that DVD got.
