I have a 65 inch HDTV and I love it. Mine is rear projection but I still get a great picture. My recommendation to anyone who is looking to buy is that you find exactly what you want in screen size, cable outlets/inlets, and sound (built in or surround sound system). As far as HDMI outlets on the TV I recommend two or three. Make sure you have all the cables you will need before taking the TV home. I learned the hard way, I had to go back and buy additional cables and eventually the HDMI cable (Best for great picture from a DVD player). If you are going to use cable TV or use the box I placed above visit this site: http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/settop_8300hddvr.html

It will be helpful in setting up your television and has good information. When I bought mine the cable guy who came out to hook it up new nothing about HDTV. Read your manual before they come out so you will be able to help them out.

I have had my HDTV almost three years now. Shortly after buying it I bought a surround sound system to go with it.

They are different from the old type of television, you cannot just bring it home, plug it in and hook up an antenna or cable and start watching. You can but you will not get a very good picture. You definitely need component cables or HDMI cables. At least one of each is a good idea.  For best sound you will need a digital sound cable if you have surround sound.

I hope this is helpful in some way. Please e-mail me at hwiggins@hot.rr.com if you have questions.
