Not to burst your bubble, but don't get too excited about picture quality on your new TV. I just finished installing my new Mitsubishi 46" LCD last night and it has its pros and cons.

Pros - When something is on in Widescreen HD the picture is absolutely stunning. Best examples I have seen thus far are the NFL Championships, American Idol and the Buick Invitational. You can definitely tell when they break out the 'good' cameras.

Cons - most shows in standard HD have a good picture - not a stunning picture. Get ready for black bars on the sides of the screen. You can make them go away but picture quality suffers.

Standard definition programming is like watching a show using rabbit ears from the 70's. Much better quality on your old TV.

Most DVD's will look better on your old TV, HD DVD or BluRay is what you will want soon.
