[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 754415, member: 369937"] As an old TV guy I have no answer to the first question, but on the second one the big differance is the sound, I play some DVD/BlueRay combo packs (program comes on DVD and BlueRay) you play the DVD the picture looks great, the surround sound is good, you play the same show on BlueRay, the picture looks a bit better but the surround sound blowes you out of the house, this is because they have far more room for uncompressed audio on the BlueRay disk then on the DVD. If you have a good surround sound system now it will be even better after you get the BlueRay hooked up to it. So now for question #3, in my opinion the best HDTV is in the eyes of the beholder, (and your pocket book) go down to the local (large) HDTV store and sit down (or stand) at about the same distance from the TV that you will be viewing at your house, this will give you an idea on what size will suit your needs the best, some large home entertainment stores have media rooms, this will allow you to dim the lights a bit (like at home) and try to get the visual feel of the TV, find one that looks good to you (and your spouse) not the salesman.
