First to recommend

I purchased this HD TV because it was Alain-approved, and I have been very happy with the results.

Highlights:
- 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio for fantastic pictures.
- Connects to your TiVo Series3 HD using an HDMI cable.
- Has an extra HDMI input for plugging in your HDDVD player (unless you're going to spring for an HD receiver to switch video, too).
- Speakers are not visible so you don't feel bad turning them off and using your nice 5.1 surround sound system.
- Supports resolutions up to 1080p so that you're ready for that "future" that everybody keeps talking about.

Why DLP instead of plasma? DLP has no half-life so the screen stays bright over the years.

Why DLP instead of LCD? DLP has a higher contrast ratio making for a clearer picture. Note: Don't be fooled by the over-brightness of an LCD in the store. Your home is not going to be lit up like Best Buy so the DLP will be plenty bright when you get it home. At that point, the contrast ratio matters more. (via Alain Avakian)

Bought one from Crutchfield here in Harrisonburg, Va, just 14 months ago. Part of screen turned dark. Went 2 miles away to Crutchfield store..." sorry, call Samsung".
Called Samslug......"sorry, out of warranty by 2 months".
Called Samsuck authorized TV repairman "$875 to fix, maybe more".
I paid Crutchfield $2495 plus tax just 14 months ago. A new one delivered total cost is now $1099..buyer beware on a Samsunk products..

I had the same identical model, same problem. 2 weeks out of 12 month warranty. Samsuck said "Sorry, out of warranty".
Samslug products are garbage.
Bought a 65" Toshiba for the great room and a 42" Hatachi plasma for the master bed room. The 12 year old Sony 64" is still as good as new in my garage.

Best picture I've seen on a DLP without question. I have Directv and the HD programming is obviously amazing, but even stardard programs have such brillant color.
