Personally, I'm waiting for the new Sony XBR8's to come down in price. It's the only tv right now with color LED backlighting. The color and contrast is amazing on those things, better than plasma IMO, but the nearly $5k price tag is a lot more than I'm willing to spend.
On the way out or not they have some good features. They cost more to make and have less profit commie we know better lawmakers or not. I too am waiting for the next gen to be here and almost gone so they are less expensive too. i am a late adopter on some things. $30 for a DVD player rather than $800.
