i bought one of these: http://www.buy.com/retail/usersearchresults.asp?querytype=home&qu=samsung+dlp&qxt=home&display=col
comes with complete mfgr's warranty. it was airfreighted from CA. arrived in about 2 days. 61" LED DLP. the price is $1200 compared to $2000 at best buy. i am pretty certain that it is being sold from a warehouse front of samsung. buy.com is just a larger ordering house. if you can live with the small lump in the back, this is a good option to plasma. standard dlp goes through the light source in 1000(?) hrs. this is not much if you walk away from the TV and leave it on for 10 hrs a day.(3 months!!). the leds last much longer, i have not checked as to how long. this tv is very bright.
