About 30% of the time, their programming is in 4:3 format and while it is clear, it isn't HD. Same as TMN and others, they often release a movie only in SD not HD.

And probably a sick price too for the early adopters.

There was quite a detailed thread on this exact subject about a month and a half ago in the lounge, check it out .

Costco has great prices on some of the current stuff. Also try eoutletcanada.com Good Luck

Depending on your price range, Samsung is highly rated. Sharp's mid-low range models stack up well. You could go cheap and get a no name brand, just be prepared to replace it sooner.
