I just bought a Misutbshi 48" HD Ready TV for $1600 new and I am more than delighted with its performance. What I don't understand, and I'm sure plenty of people here who are more HDTV savy then me probably do, is what exactly in terms of picture quality are you getting when you pay super big bucks for I guess we're talking about plasma & LCD HD Ready TV's? If there is a difference are we talking about a major difference in picture quality, because as far as I'm concerned, my HD picture is perfect. I realize you're paying more in regards to the cosmetic design such as the plasma TV's you can hang on the wall and the hi tech designed HD's, but other than cosmetics what exactly are you paying so much more for? Let's make the assumption, these are all HD ready TV's not TV's with the HDTV tuner/receiver built in? I gots to know!
