I've been looking at them too, although we don't really need one...since we have a couple 42" projection TVs we got for free recently (I sort of fixed one, and the other works but has some wierd blue lines across the screen that are sometimes bothersome).

Looks to me like the smaller sets that you can get 1080P you pay a premium for that, and it's not worth the extra money.

Also do some research into the remote control, apparently some sets don't let you easily change aspect ratio (zoom, or crop, or whatever it's called) without going into a setup menu. That would drive me nuts.

I would treat this purchase like buying a computer...don't spend too much money, because in a year the high dollar set you bought will be available for half what you paid for it....that bugs me....

Also on the calibration thing, if you search the forums on home theaters you can usually find people who've tweaked the set and they offer suggestions on how to do it.
