Since I'm hosting a get together next Saturday for the UFC fight, I had an excuse to upgrade my downstairs 34" Wide Sony HD Tube. With lots of careful consideration and countless store visits, I opted for a 42" Samsung.

It has 15000:1 Contrast Ratio, 3 HDMI inputs, Pixel Shift Technology (reduces the chance of burn in), Filterbrite anti-reflection technology, and it's 18bit. All within the budget I was trying to keep it under.

I was looking at 50" Vizio's but a 50" wouldn't fit in the corner nook of my house. Also, they seemed to have a large amount of glare and that wouldn't be good for all my downstairs windows.
