Although I am a first time LCD TV purchaser, I did a lot of research before buying. Given the size of my family room, a 40-inch LCD appeared to be the best choice; I picked Sony because I've owned several and they all performed great! After hooking up Comcast HD cable I was blown away with the picture. Unfortunately, not all channels are broadcast in HD so it's a little disappointing when switching to a non-HD channel, but still much better than the old analog CRT. Additionally, sports channels like ESPN-HD are great. I am definitely ready for the Cubs march to the post season and World Series!!
