Despite Samsung's ad campaigns there is no such thing as an "LED TV" for home use. LED TVs would be the enormous jumbotron-style TVs you see at football games, like the $40,000,000 Mitsubishi that just went into the still-in-progress Cowboys Stadium. Expensive you say? Well it *IS* 1080p... and it's 180 feet wide by 70 feet tall, weighing in at 600 tons and featuring 30 million LED bulbs to form those pretty high def pictures.

What Samsung calls "LED TV" and a "whole new species of TV" is actually an LCD TV with LED as the light source. And I think Sony was actually the first to market with one of those. But I digress...

Now how do I withdraw $1700.00 from our account and tell my wife I spent it on our son?lol!

Dude, that's your problem. Just don't tell your son the TV is his because he'll definitely want it in his room and that's maybe a tad bit excessive. But hey, maybe he'll lend you his 32-inch VIZIO.

If you want BIG, it's hard to beat that value proposition - 72 inches of 1080p goodness for $1700! I'd say go for it...
