well, i decided to order the Viera anyway. 32" LCD with 2 HDMI inputs, all resolution modes except for 1080p, and all the component inputs i would ever need.

was going to wait until 1080p set prices came down, but i had a chance to buy this one for USD 400 (list was 1,100) so hindi ko natiis. we now have more TV's in the house than people, so i have no idea what we're going to do now :hihihi:
