HDTV Deadline Has Been Met ;-)

I have met my soccer world cup deadline of acquiring a digital TV. I am now the proud owner of a Sony 40" LCD KDL-VX40BR1 TV. After much debating between Plasma and LCD (and finally settling on LCD), this was the model that I had started to take a closer look at.
I don't have all of the outputs hooked up yet, but obviously DVD and Digital Cable (will take care of getting the HDTV box this week) have been hooked up. The DVD clarity (Apollo13, Lord of the Rings, etc) is pretty inspiring. The Standard Definition signal is OK (but not so bad that it is unwatchable, like I have seen on other big screen TVs).
Next items to purchase: matching TV and stereo stands.....
(what a Merry Xmas so far - much better than purchasing a furnace like I did last year :-) )

P.S. My niece gets some credit for agreeing to go with me to look at TVs this weekend. :-)

Woohoo! Now all you need to do is set up a MythTV box with a DVI output to your HDMI input, and get a HDTV PVR set up.. :-)
