Best TV for the $$

I bought the LN46A550 about a month ago and am glad I did. Like most people who are deciding on their first Big(er) screen HDTV I was torn between a plasma and lcd. I sided with LCD because of a better selection and they seemed more reliable based on reviews Ive seen. I also wanted to stay with a budget of 1200 and after reading a lot of reviews this TV was unanimously well reviewed and the price was hard to beat. The picture is great and even though it lacks the 120hz processing I havent seen any motion blur any fast moving scenes or sports. Still, comparing it to a plasma, it seems to lack the 'pop' in dark room settings. So if you are using this for a theater room I suggest going plasma or perhaps one of the newer led backlit lcds. Still for most tv viewing in semi-lit room for normal tv programing my picture is really great. Also, menus and color calibration controls are great for those who obsess over getting that down to a science.
