I got one about 3 weeks ago and it's great. It's in my bedroom andI'm at about 8-9 ft from it. It was either that or the Samsung 750 52".I couldn't justify more than double the cost for 10" and 120 Hz. I got it at BB with the 12% off coupon.![]()

I'm surprized you haven't read all the issues Toshiba LCDs have with lasting long after you buy it = Quality issues.
Well, are you set on a 42"? Price is also a factor.![]()

2) I am not set on a 42", but it seems noticeably bigger than a 40" side by side.....
I am considering a 46 size too....but it may be too big for the room....

Not really. Actually, it's very simple: Toshiba doesn't last, Sony has sparkles, LG's contrast is subpar, the third tier is for the Walmart crowds. That leaves Samsung. If you can't stand the reflective screen, wait till August for the 630 series. If the rumors are true, these will be the best LCDs ever.

Actually, these are simply some peoples perceptions and may well not be correct. The newer LGs are very good and have good reviews and can be tuned FAR more than the Sammy's can so to me, being able to tune a set to ISF is very important. You simply can't do that with the Sammys. The Samsung's are also (usually) more expensive. The Toshiba's do NOT have durabilty issues. I've had one of the early Toshiba Plasma's for over 4 years now and NEVER had a single issue. Most reviewers state that the Cinamotion of the Toshiba's is better than the Samsungs. Only "some" Sony's have Sparkle issues...

Every single manufacturer out there has their issues and quirks...Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, etc. None of them are perfect.
If you're buying a set and want to keep it for 10 years though, it may be worth kicking out a little extra. You may want to look into the Samsung 550 and 650 series and the Toshiba 550 series. They cost a little bit more, but I think they'd stand the test of time easier.
