I've just recently been through this (the research, the research, the selection, the indecision, the purchase .. )

You will notice the difference in the refresh rate - get at least 100hz (which is 120hz in NTSC-land?)

Get 1080 for the future of HD ..

Buy the cheapest HDMI cables .. there is no difference between a €10, €100 and a €10000000 dollar HDMI cable.  It's digital information - it either works or it doesn't.


I bought a SONY lcd fwiw ..

Monster HDMI cables are a ridiculous ripoff that takes advantage of people's ignorance. There is no reason to spend 50 bucks on an HDMI cable, unless it is ridiculously long I suppose.

I am amazed that Radio Shack only seems to sell overpriced HDMI cables and Best Buys often have Monster displays, though they also have more normal priced HDMI cables.

I bought my hdmi cable for $5 at a mall and it's amazing.

I've had my HP with 1080p for over 5 years now and i've only had to replace the bulb once ($100).

The "3 S's" are not accurate at all. My HP is amazing and I don't know anything about technology other than I'm a cheap dude who wants the best for the least. I paid 2k for my 50" TV 5 years ago!!!

Buy all cables form EBay.

Just make sure you are buying from a legit seller and you will be fine.

I would go with Samsung or Sharp for the TV.
