i have that exact HDTV u'r looking into but mine's a 42 incher... it's an awesome picture but the sound sucks... make sure u get a surround sound system to hook it up to... or u can get away w/a nice set of computer speakers, i have mine hooked up to a set of Logitech Z-2300's & it's fine for a small room.
$1499 is a bit pricey, i paid $1400 about 6 months ago for mine at Best Buy, u can probably get it for cheaper than that if u do some research... check Pricegrabber to see if u can get a better deal... i found one for 1355 w/free shipping at: http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sales_getprod.php?masterid=63807951&lot_id=9371254 also make sure u order an HDMI cable to go w/it if u're gonna hook up a DVD/bluray or a PS3 to it. good choice bro... enjoy the HD experience. oh & btw, all bluray players will play regular DVD's & most will upscale them... the PS3 is consistently 1 of the highest rated bluray players out there which is why i picked that up over the Xbox 360. as for surround sound, don't bother with Bose, they're severely overpriced... u can get a comparable sound experience w/Boston Acoustics or a nice Polk system w/a good reciever for much less.... good luck [Edited by - TMS on 02-21-2009 12:51 AM] After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'.

wireless surround system's gonna be tough, not many good ones out there right now... the problem is even if the surround satellite speakers say they're wireless, they will still need to be plugged into a power source, which kinda defeats the purpose... battery power won't cut it for any quality speaker system.
u're most likely gonna end up checking out the virtual surround sound 2 speaker w/sub systems that project sound off the walls to simulate the surround sound feel, but those systems will never stack up to a true 5 speaker & sub system no matter what kind you get & your choices for those kinds of systems are a little limited. alot of the all-in-one systems whatever brand they are come w/a built in DVD player which u won't need now that you're getting a bluray anyway, so there's another consideration... my brother bought the Bose Cinemate speakers to hook up to his TV which cost him about 5 bills, but those aren't surround sound & u can get a better experience using the Logitech's that i got mine hooked up to for $120 or less. check out some of the reviews on this link for more choices: http://hometheater.about.com/od/hometheaterinabox/tp/onepieceht.htm oh, & whatever system u choose, make sure it's compatible w/HDMI output.
