This is me now. I once bought a Hitachi rear projection HDTV and it was a POS. Then I sprung for a new Samsung with all the 120hz, 1080p, the bells, the whistles and whizbangs. $2400 for 47". I've got it all out of my system finally. That Samsung is still running but I'll never spring for a big $$$$ TV again. They all piss me off by being slow to boot up, change channels, remotes are shit, sound like a cell phone on speaker and are just generally irritating. Doesn't matter which brand. I now buy the cheapest thing that has the specs I want and just trash and replace as necessary.
