    Just curious if anyone else has this TV or any opinions on how the tv is/looks? Everywhere I look, there are no more than two reviews, but the reviews are generally very good. Considering I'm on a budget (I'd like a 37 - 42" LCD HDTV for no more than ~$1000, at least 720p).

    So, any comments or suggestions? Also, the best price I've seen is ~$850. Anyone know anywhere cheaper or better to pick this up, if I decide to do so?

    Thanks!

    Yes, I've checked newegg. The price is about the same as it would be in store, so I'd rather just go and pick it up myself in a case like that.

    There were a few TV's around my price range, but for the size and fact that I've YET to see a very negative rating is pretty influential. Although the 42" you posted is nice, I'd rather not go too over budget (I'm a working-poor college student).
