She is the best. She will be better when she stops costing my team wins by getting murdered all the time in MW2.
After all of the crappy chicks I have come across in my life, I finally feel like I deserve her - 3.5 years after we got together.

3.5 years of fun, hard work, and pain. All of it worth it. Getting married next year too.

I know it may seem like I'm trying to sell something, and I assure you I'm not, I just poured over COUNTLESS articles on giz, and other tech blogs, wondering what TV to buy. I didn't have a huge budget, and using giz I realized that with the distance I'd be sitting from my TV, and the size of TV I wanted (32"), I wouldn't need anything over 720p. So with a $500 budget, I started looking.
I found the Dynex on sale at Best Buy for $299, and did hours of research wondering why it was so cheap, how badly it sucked, why I should be getting a Toshiba or Sony instead - and found nothing of any substance really. A lot of "you get what you pay for" and "cheap = cheap!", but very few actual constructive complaints - and even fewer complaints that I found couldn't be fixed by reading Giz's calibration guide and just spending some extra time setting it up.
So - just wanted to throw it out there - that at the price it's at, I am thrilled to finally have an HDTV at a very reasonable price. I had no idea who I was ever trading for in NHL10 on my SDTV, and now I know I've made horrible, horrible deals.

The answer is yes and I previously did not know that.

It's not that unwidely - it's a feather compared to the CRTs of old. No way in hell I'm gonna nail it to the wall, as you say, but I've never been quite partial to that idea. After all, I'm going to need a stand for the BR player, consoles and whatnot.
I used to recommend everyone to give them a try before limiting themselves to the LCD/Plasma debate - especially since I don't know anyone with a wall-hung TV. It's made me very sad to see that it's almost impossible to find them around here anymore.

Price to size its still terrific tho.

Which is a position I fully agree with - it's a big setback. I don't know, I find my 57" Mitsubishi to be the best display I have - I'd take it over the LG and the Bravia (the other two HDTVs we have) any day. Heck, it's the one where all the HD things go. Maybe I just got very lucky with it. It's either a 2005 or 2006 model (got it used in mid/late 2006), still on the original lamp, and the picture is beyond any expectations.
I'm not saying everyone should buy DLPs and that LCD and plasma should burn in hell. Just that it pained me to see it fall on the sidelines back when all three (well, four, if you count those sacrilegous CRT HDTVs) were vying for marketshare at the beginning. Everyone was asking "LCD or Plasma?" and almost everyone forgot the DLP. That's why I said "give it a try" - it's not for everyone, but I feel it deserved more attention than it got, at least in my neck of the woods.
