I know what you mean about the XBR2, I want to see it, but at the same time that whole $5000 ball park is so unnecessary in my eyes, especially considering how lackluster the A2000 was. Either Sony did that to push people towards the XBR2 kicking and screaming or they did it because they really don't understand some of the finer points in life. The one big surprise in this list is that HP. I already knew I liked the Mitsu from so much great feedback in the thread. I actually like the fit/finish on the Samsung's the most, but people consistently had complaints about noise and other issues on it, which made me happily pass that up and stick to the mits. Also Costco started carrying the Mits and that says a lot to me. Costco warrenties electronics like these for up to a year (independently) and researches a lot of what they carry ahead of time. The fact that they carry the Mits is a big plus in my eyes as a consumer because I feel confident buying it from them even if it's a bit more expensive (the 65731 out the door with shipping is like $3500). I tell you if the XX732 series hits that $3500 price point, I'm sold. If it's more like $4k, I'll do just what you said and wait to see the XBR2. If all else fails, heck, I'll get myself a XX731 even if I can get it for $3k out the door or something like that, that's a smoking deal, certainly makes up for my need for an iris ;) Cathy thanks so much for the feedback, I’m really glad it helped or atleast gave you a few more tidbits to roll forward with.

I have been trolling the AVS site for quite a while and wanted to pull the trigger months ago but I waited for the 731 to come out, then waited for the a2000 to come out, then was dazzled by the Samsung. Now I am waiting for the 732 which I may finally buy, but part of me wants to see the XBR2. I am still watching a 27" that is so old that the VCR I bought at the same time cost $800. Until now, I just didn't feel the technology justified the price. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!! This is an awsome write-up.
