    Me too. The wife wanted a new TV for the bedroom, so we got a Samsung LN40B530 on sale for $749.00 at BB over labor day. Nice picture and better quality than any source that I have been able to feed into it. She wants to mount it onto the wall.

    The sound is only OK, so I dug out some old audio gear for sound: A Denon AVR787 (that was gathering dust) and a pair of JBLs, that I was using in my office until I replaced them recently with a set of Polks. The JBLs are 3-ways and have a set of ported 10s in them, so I have decent lows now.

    The wife doesn't like the large cabinets but I convinced by comparing them against the dinky home theater speaker systems that she wanted for the bedroom. I like subs just fine (even get an extra 1/3 of an octave), but miss the mid-low attack of a large, nicley ported low-end driver. Just can't beat the 10s -- unless you've got 12s. :)

    Take a look at a 3-way adjustable wall bracket. It is nice to not only tilt the screen, but to move it a bit.
