After my disasterous let down with the 30" sanyo, i've decided it's best to cut my losses and move on.

So here's what's on the table: The toshibas suck, worse than the sanyo from what i saw in best buy, so in my price range i've cut it down to these two options.

Problem is, i haven't seen the sanyo lcd.

BUT, i do know that what drove me to kill my 30" Sanyo was tinkering to fix geometry and resolution issues plugging in my macbook. Sanyo says this is a 720p lcd, displaying at 1366x768 pixels. does that mean if i send a 1366x768 dvi signal from my macbook, i will truly get that?

Next up, the Samsung. Very sleek, very stylish. Best picture sans-Sony hands down. BUT, am i going to shoot myself again in the foot tinkering with geometry and MacBook pixel-mapping issues?

Sony KD-34XBR970.
You can't go wrong there, ever.

$1000 = go wrong.

$1000 = go wrong.
Samsung = Geometry massacre.
Sanyo = ....look at you now.

So then you suggest the LCD route is the way to go?

Get a used XBR960 or 970 then get Sony to replace the tube so you have a new
kick ass TV.
