I have become a big cnet electronics review fan. I don't have the time (or more importantly the desire) to go look at all this stuff before I buy it. I bought a Panasonic 42" plasma about 8 mos ago and love it. I also have a 26" Samsung in my kitchen. Samsung rated higher than the Panasonic on cnet, but I wanted a "frameless" and the 42" Samsung had a silver frame. I bought it online, btw, for $700 less than Best Buy wanted for it (the big one).
