I still love my XBR40. I'm watching it right now. However you can't beat a good plasma. I have a Pioneer Kuro 50" plasma in my "man cave". Unfortunately we had a sump pump failure last week so I had to tear out all of the carpet. :( My cave is out of commission until the insurance company gets everything fixed.

If you haven't bought that LCD yet, compare motion-blur between an LCD and a decent plasma. Image retention (screen burn-in) isn't a problem with the latest plasmas like it used to be. Once I saw the motion blur on an LCD watching football, my mind was made up that I wanted a plasma. Now if we could just get Speed in high def here I'd be happy.

I am kind of partial to my HP DLP (its in the mirrors) 52" with a HiDef that looks better than any plasma I've seen so far. By far the best projection TV made to date.

TIVO? Mazda owners don't watch race LIVE? :shock:

I was up for Aussie and Malaysia GP, this one was easy (7 AM).

Congrats to Kubica and BMW for pole, wow! I thought Massa was going to get it easy since he'd been dominating the entire sessions.

Tomorrow is another day, well see... :arrow:

The F1 racing is pretty boring. Spec cars, very little passing (racing).

I think you were in a different channel :shock: ... Alonso doing well then blowing engine, Tons of spoiler benders, etc. Only 12 cars finished.
Changes in the current stadings and we have a different winner in every race.

I think it was pretty exciting!
