Thanks for the reply. It wasnt so much that he couldnt affod more money, just didnt see the reason for spending more. To be honest with you I didnt think he should have bought a new tv at all. BUT he was set on getting a new one, so he orderd a Samsung HL-S5087W. He got it for just under 1500 Shipped. Thats where the 1500 came from.
Thanks again,
Sean
