Forgot to tell you to not go for the top end HDMI cables. It's digital. It either works or it doesn't. There are plenty of cheaper HDMI cables available that work just as good as the expensive ones. Now maybe the better ones are better sheilded or something and will work better over time or have better connectors on the ends that won't develop a later problem due to corrosion or something. Glad to hear you made the decision. Just in time for the winter viewing season. Big deal down in your area I'm sure right? <grin> GK On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 7:04 PM, Rocky Smolin <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> wrote: > Samsung LN46B750 - $1350 > > They threw in a Samsung - BD-P1600 blu-ray to sweeten the deal. > > Couple of HDMI cables - won't know the final cost until escrow closes and > the financing comes through on those though.
