Thanks, Seth...the CNET info was one of my first sources,
I have read nearly every freakin link of 'reviews', 'top 10s', 'editors choices', etc.

And when I narrowed it down to 3 or 4 brands/models, I would GOOG the cat number and read the reviews of that model, some of which is similar to "I love my X" to "this car sucks, I'm trading it for a ____"

Not wringing hands about the process; I will pull the trigger on something soon. Probably 70", non 3D, etc.

Gotta measure to see if the sumbitch will fit in the CEO's Hyundai Tucson to get it home.
