To be fair, that $1,500 was an unusual promotion. Crutchfield
(Virginia) and J&R (New York), two well-regarded US mail-order
retailers that are popular because they only charge sales tax for
in-state residents and offer free shipping, both sell it for $2,299.

That said, for those who are in the market for a nice new flat panel
in that size range, if you see it for $1,999 or less I'd think hard
about snapping it up. I paid $1,450 (price break due to botched
shipping) from J&R for my Westinghouse 37" in January; it is *great*,
as Jarod and at least one other person on the list can also tell
you. Worked straight out of the box with my Nvidia card over DVI. I've
raved before about the visual quality of 1080i programs that MythTV
upscales to 1080p with Bob deinterlacing, but hey, I'll do it again. I
look forward to the forthcoming 47" Westinghouse panel as a possible
upgrade.
