Same here (reso, size, month), only no surround sound.

I went into Fred Meyer yesterday to get a DVI to HDMI cable and they had a massive stock of TVs. 52 inch Samsung, 120hz for $1899. It's a friggin steal. I would have bought it then and there if I didn't already have my puny 47''.

Prices are dropping everywhere I look. Time to spend, unless it's on HDMI cables. Get that crap off Ebay or Newegg. $50 cable you got to be kidding me. (I bought it anyway. Newegg charges $18 to ship one to me. )

If I go broke and start to go hungry I'll just buy a rifle and go hunt a moose. Meh.

Re: Whats your exit strategy?

Oh yeah, I picked up my 47" for $800 with 4 year in home warranty from best buy. It was fantastic. Also, DVI > HDMI 6' on ebay is $4, in store is like $50. Cables are horrible in stores, that's where companies do all their markup. When I walked out of best buy with a tv and nothing else, I thought the guy was going to cry. He tried, but I was prepared. I had already bought all my HD cables on ebay and had the invoices iwth me. BTW, that $4 is shipped, not + shipping. He just stared at it when I showed him. My TV was open box, which brought it down a few hundred. Broken stand, but I already had an entertainment center with wall mount built in, so I didn't see a reason why not. Plus they threw in the warranty, so I couldn't argue that it might be defective. It looks awesome paired with my PS3 too.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Any cable at any of the stores is all markup. My friend worked at best buy for awhile and there discount is store cost so he could get ethernet cables for $0.95 and HDMIs for about $3 at the time. And length didn't change the price much either
