for the best info on circuit city, stay up to date with gizmodo.com, you wouldve found out about the TV scam before you even went there.

They tried to sell me a 4 year extension on the warranty for $600!!!! Only thing good about it was if you didn't use it by the end of the term you got it back as a store credit.

Wellll.... now I'm trying to decide between the Samsung 42" Plasma 720p and the Sony Bravia LCD 40" LCD 1080P... Thoughts? Viewing distance is about 7 feet.

one thing to look into too I know of several 720 models that can be upgraded to 1080 with a thumb drive or something like that. personally i would go with a 1080 i can definitely notice a difference between 480 720 and 1080 on high def stuff.

Hmmm.. I'm looking at entry-level stuff. I don't know that the 720 can be upgraded- at least there's no mention of it on avsforum. Also the 720 is $749 and the 1080 is $999, but I'm mostly concerned about things like break-in, image retention, black level, peripheral viewing.
