Just three weeks ago I purchased this tv: http://www.benq.ca/Products/PDP/index.cfm?product=515 46" Wide Screen HDTV Plasma TV. It simply rocks. What sold me on it was it has external speakers that are 10W each instead of the industry standard 5W, plus the internal 2W per side speakers. The 850:1 ratio is good enough and the price was much better than the Sony or Panasonic equivilents. I as well have HD service and LOVED today's football games on it, and can not wait for TSN's service to start for hockey. So welcome to the 21st century.. :) Peter
