While not as big, I have a LN40A650 (through Amazon) that I'm liking a
ton.  One thing I found out later (that doesn't affect the display itself,
mind you) is the bezel is pretty much taped on.  The top right corner of
the bezel released from the display a few months after I got it.  Not very
noticable but was a little dissapointing.
