TV Upgrade

[Michael Bulriss]

Jack,

I got it at Circuit City. They were the only place I found locally that had
them in the black bezel. Everyone else had them in white bezels only. I don't
think they carry them any more, as they are now a 6+ month old model, but I see
they are still available online at Amazon and others. That Samsung unit was the
closest one in width that I found when I was hunting earlier this year. I was
out there with my measuring tape going store to store! There may be more
choices now. Also, the smaller sizes only come in 720p. Forget looking for
that size in 1080. They don't exist. That unit was so good, we ended up
getting a 46" Samsung Touch Of Color model (LN46A650) for the house and it is
like looking thru a window rather than watching a TV!! In fact Samsung has a
LN22A650 model that would fit in there OK and that is a current model that
should be readily available. I have thought about one for the bedroom in the
bus.

Hope this helps.

Mike
