Ordered my new Samsung DLP 5078 from dr plasma 11/10 received the TV on 11/21 a little pass the promised date of 11/18, but I was not at home to schedule delivery any sooner.

TV arrived undamaged, and although I had only paid for "curb side delivery" the delivery service man helped me bring the TV into the house and set it in the stand I had just made for it.

I am very pleased with the TV so far. Receiving HD over my exsisting TV antenna. Seventeen "HD" channels tuned in (not all in HD lots of weather only channels not in HD)

DVD's look great I like the Zoom picture function when watching the very wide sceen DVDs. (really shrink the black bars at the top and bottom, I can't see any lost of quality!)

I ordered the TV sight unseen (none of the local stores and any idea when the new Samsung TVs would be in)

Took advantage of the Samsung offer for free Who DVD set and a free upconverting DVD player. although it is hard to imagine any inprovement in picture quality. (will post again if the new player is indead an improvement.

Spent $3174.58, which was more than $300 cheaper than crutchfields, and no tax! I tried to talk to the salesman at crutchfields about an earlier promotion they had, but he did not want to deal. I think their sales people are just there to help you fill out an online order.
