Very catchy! I was in the same dilemma about a year ago when having to decide on a TV to buy for the living room. We did similar research and it came down to what was available in the local markets (e.g., Best Buy, which happens to be my final destination to buy the TV). Budget was a consideration and so was the length of time we were planning to keep the TV in the living room before having to upgrade it to something "bigger". The final decision came down to a Sony Bravia XBR. It is big enough for the living room space (any bigger and it would be a strain on the eyes; plus, our digital reception isn't up to snuff yet so the picture wouldn't be any clearer at this point in time). When the technology becomes cheaper and improved upon, we'll consider getting a bigger one - maybe in 2 more years. In the meantime, we're able to connect all of our game consoles, DVR box, and even a computer to the television. Maybe in a couple of months, I'll include an Apple TV to the repertoire. Here's a link to a picture of the TV and what my cat thinks about it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/i925/2136335526/ First, I like your play on words with the title. Very catchy!
