OK, every time I think I finally made my mind up on a HDTV, something pops up to screw up my decision.
What do you think? My choices are (as of today) the Samsung HLN617W, Philips 55PL9773/S, and the new contender - Hitachi 60V500. What would you pick and why?
I have seen the Samsung and it is nice. I have tried to find the Philips but noboby carries it in Pittsburgh. I will go on the warpath tomorrow to check if anyone has the Hitachi. Also, if you have any other choices, feel free to post them.
I don't care much for CRT RP but I have seen some great pictures on them.
BTW, Pittsburgh is the pits when it comes to high-end equipment.

I presently have a 6 month old Sony KP-46WT500 and now due to our remolding project it is too deep to fit where it must go. So I started shopping all over again and have decided on the Samsung HLN437W. Incredible picture, brighter then my Sony and I really think has a better picture then the Plasmas. Yes better, I looked at all the plasmas at CC, BB & Sears and they look great but it always looks to me like I'm looking through a window screen. The Samsung has a very sharpe clean picture... My vote is for the Samsung!!

You'll have to post a 20% deposit at Tweeter to see a Philips 55PL977S (or be in the store when another "depositer" is checking out a set before taking it home.) I did see a 50V500 at Sears(showing HDTV) and was pleasantly surprised. It looked better than the Panasonic or Sony LCD Rear Projectors I've seen in the stores--admittedly a non-scientific comparison. Black looked black to me, not gray. I'm waiting on my 55PL977S to show up at Tweeter, hoping to see a "smooth" image like I've seen on the small Samsung LCD HDTV flat panels, rather than the LCD screendoor or the DLP ragged-edge (for lack of a better term) image.
