It's a 50" Plasma by Samsung. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036WT3XO/ref=oss_product) <br /><br />The avsforum guys will tell you it doesn't have enough "blacks" or something. But, honestly, I went to Sears, and could NOT tell the difference between this set and the $5000 sets at 60" (except those do 3D). The Amazon price dipped to $899 briefly, and I snapped it up. (It's my spleen money. You can't stop me.) Unlike no-name Walmart cheapos, it has all of our hookups for VGA, HDMI, regular video. I picked up a cable for our MacBook to hook up to it. And I bought an extra Wii for $110 off of eBay to play Netflix and zombie games on.<br /><br />It is an EXTRAVAGANCE. But, for once, we're treating ourselves. And we're doing it prudently, and well within our budget. And, if you think of it this way... we've been DirectTV free for 2+ years now. At $40 a month, we've already saved the price of the TV by cancelling that service. We were at $20 netflix for a while too! $8.99 netflix + library + free redboxes + streaming TV through our laptop = more choices than we ever watch.jonceramichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443356077955256475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484029710765284827.post-60485654116703121082010-07-30T15:19:07.767-07:002010-07-30T15:19:07.767-07:00I loved the summer reading programs when I was a k...I loved the summer reading programs when I was a kid.
