We got our first widescreen HDTV last fall and we LOOOOVE IIIIT! A couple tips though - 1) if you havent opened that very expensive HDMI cable from Best Buy, return it and buy one for $8.00 from www.newegg.com. Best Buy makes their money from selling really cheap cables at a HUGE markup - its a total rip off. You can put the savings in your snowflake fund. 2) once you get your new HDMI cable, get it plugged in! The HDMI cable is necessary to see HD broadcasts in their full glory. If you dont use the HDMI, you're not getting your money's worth from your HD service or the TV itself. Have fun! Congrats on the new TV.
