Use your Money and spend it on a HDTV ! Otherwise you will not get the sharpnest of HD channels (1080i / 720p) on your EDTV which can only display 480p !
You don't want a paper weight !
I have about a $2500 budget and have been trying to decide between a Panasonic Plasma EDTV or a Samsung or Mitsubishi DLP. Any opinions on this decision or on an altogether different direction would be appreciated. One salesman was trying to push an LG Plasma, but I can't find any reviews...
