Got a co worker looking for a flat panel of some sort looking to spend no more than $2-3K Should he go HD? Or just get the enhanced? Any particular models you circuit shitty bois recommend? What about you Breast buy guys? He can order online. How are those DELLs? If they are anything like their monitors, I would probably swing for one of those. ---

FWIW I have heard nothing but _stellar_ reviews of the Dell’s. I’ve only seen two in person and for relatively short periods of time. In comparing my experience with them, and my strolling through CC, BB, SA… I’d say “Duuude, You’re getting a Dell”. Price, deals (online), and the fact that alot of them are sourced by LG (who is near the leading edge). Oh, HD FTW. I’m sure the big nerds will chime in with model numbers and pages of comparison stuff… but in the meantime, has He/You checked out AVSForum? Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge HT nerds. _[http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=9](http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=9)_ ---

Hmm I’m reading that there are a decent amount of problems, but service as always is pretty top notch. They send a tech out and he replaces everything. ---

^ in 6 months alot of things will be completely different has stock is replenished / parts updated, new competitors, etc. IMO The best thing that Dell is doing right now is they are starting the wave of price-cutting. Ideally forcing competitors to follow suit… $1500 tv’s here we come ::evillaugh:: ---

IMHO, the only ones that can beat Dell bang for the buck would be Samsung. With Dell’s warranty and cheap online pricing/specials, you can’t really go wrong.
