But I've been very satisfied with the set for the time I've had it. Time Warner cable (formerly Adelphia) has a ton of HD channels, and since I'm near Canada - I can pick up CBC for HD hockey with OTA antenna.

I think realistically the limit on tube HD - Widescreen 16x9 - ends up at about the 36" level. There are manufacturing issues making glass any bigger than that, so thats why nothing at CES for glass anymore. People want 40, 50 , 60 inch sets.... ain't gonna happen with glass.

This will suffice my needs until this "laser" HD technology comes out in a couple years.
