Thanks for the postings to this point, everyone...I've always LOVED Loewes (I even learned to pronounce it "Loo-vah"), but the TV I'm looking for right now would be a step between my regular old television and a true, top-flight Loewe. It would be the type of thing that I'd keep as my main set for a few years, then move it into the bedroom to make room for a Loewe in 2005 or so.
Basically, I saw a Toshiba 42H81 on sale for $1500, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of it before I just dove right in. I live in Washington, so I'll never have enough space for one those those 64" monsters, and it looks like you can get a nice deal on the 36-43 inchers right now. The 42H81 seems to have plenty of inputs and a great picture (even at Best Buy, where the sets are calibrated to about 78,000 degrees Kelvin or so!). Because I hadn't been able to comparison shop too much, I just thought I'd see what everyone thought of that model, especially at such a deep discount.
Again, thanks to everyone for their help so far, especially to CornFed, whose generosity is especially appreciated.
