I'd go Samsung if I were you. By far the best picture. Equal to the Sony (same technology) and much cheaper. I haven't seen anything equal the Samsungs in their price range... The pixilation probems I've seeen have been related to the cable and not the TV. My Samsung LCD does not pixilate due to fast motion...

Interestingly enough, I went to Fry's today with MD and came away with nothing because after looking at loads of TV'S because I ended up wanting either a 40" or 46" Samsung and both were pretty expensive. They're about $250-$300 cheaper, shipped on the web. These are the two models:

I just checked the spec on the 46" Samsung that I'm interested in, and it's an 8ms response time. I don't understand how this can be slow when the LCD is a higher line Samsung.

I went to Circuit City and *thought* I had negotiated $100 over the price I found the 46" Samsung for on the web, but evidently the sales guy didn't know what "out the door" meant. I went through a 20 minutes song and dance only to find that out.
By the way, how many of you guys bought extended warranty's? I don't generally buy them but of course the sales guy (said he wasn't on commission) said it would be a very good idea and told me about his LCD that blew something that costs $650 after just a year. The unappealing part is I believe it was somewhere around $400-$500.
Thinking about other things I could do with the money, I'm tempted to get the Samsung 40" or the Sharp 42". Ugh!

I got my Panasonic projector from them, and they not only have super competitive pricing, but some of the best, most pleasant customer service I've ever dealt with. Highly recommended.

Hey Bob, I bought the Samsung HL-S 5088W 50: DLP and the picture is INSANE!!!! I was watching some Concert DVD's over the weekend and was floored, the pic is so friggin sharp and the colors are wonderful!!! Sean Salmon getting KTFO was pretty damn beautiful as well!!!
regarding the extra warranty coverage, I usually agree with Steve but in this case, I got 5 years above and beyond the year that already comes with it for 250 and it was money well spent IMO. Peace of mind for 6 years at a tad more than 40 dollars a years is fine with me...
All that said, I had a Toshiba for a lot of years and it was a great TV...
