If you're smart, you'll go to the store, take a look at all the 1080p LCD's, pick the one that looks best to you, and buy that one. Honestly, once you pick your tv, you won't give a crap about what you're possibly missing.

Sony's and Samsungs are great......in the end, I went with a Toshiba and don't regret it one bit.
I do agree- with one caveat; do a little bit of reasearch, and check out the TV you are looking at buying at more than one store. Because if there is a TV that offers a better commission or some other sales incentive; the salespeople may have that TV hooked up to a better source.

Back when I worked selling electronics, most TVs paid 3-4% commission whereas RCA TVs had a few that were 5%; and RCA offerred the sales staff points for selling their products. Basically sell 4 big screens and you got a free DVD player. (Which was a big deal when DVD players cost $500.) You can bet that all of the 5% TVs were hooked up to DVD using S-video; whereas the 3% TVs were hooked into the split cable feed.
