Another question: is the $1500 for the TV alone, or is it for the TV and all the cables to hook it up? Keep in mind that a good set of component video cables (a must, because then you can do progressive scan) costs at least $40 or so. Then if you have a surround system (which, if you're a big movie guy, you should), you'll need some sort of digital audio cable to connect your DVD to your receiver. Once again, $40+. If you want your television in HD, you'll need the HDMI cables to connect to your cable or satellite receiver. Again, you're looking $50 or more.
Spending well over $1000 on a TV without buying the correct cables to hook it up is like putting regular unleaded in a Ferrari: yes, the car will go, but you just wasted your money, because you're not getting the horsepower you paid for. Keep that in mind. If you tell us what you have and what you need to hook up, we can give you an idea of how much all the cables will cost, too. Unless, of course, you've already figured that into the budget.
