Costco has a real nice 37" and I was wondering if anyone has one here. I was thinking of picking it up .

I have a 47in Vizio LCD 1080p I got when I worked at Sams Club. I love it, cant beat the price (when I got it at 1.5k now sells for 1.2k or less)
Plays Blu-Ray movies very purdy as well as 360 and PS3 games, my GFs not letting me hook my computer up to it though to play TF2 :(

Dunno about Vizio. We have a 46" Sony Bravia which we are very happy with. Hope that helps.
Ganwen, my wife has my old game machine running XP MCE, which is really cool and the wife is happy. Remote, wireless KB/Mouse. The MCE box prints over the network now as the printer still resides on my machine. I am however, required to buy another TV for the bedroom if I want to play TF2 on this TV.

What?! Don't listen to her just do it. And if you can play flight simulator (with everything turned up) on it it looks totally unreal imo.

Well its actually the only TV we have plugged in now. In our old apartment we had 3 TVs *my 27in boobtube in the main room and we both had TVs in each bedroom* Then we bought the 47in monster and its the only TV hooked up to FIOS, she gets annoyed enough when I play games *gotta have the door shut so she doesnt hear the KABOOM BOINK ect* Course, her computers out in the main living room where she plays her Sims.

Agreed, I can't wait to have kids, they will all be girls I'm sure. (O'Toole's Corillary) I will eventually drown in the estrogen of my wife, two female dogs, and the 3 daughters likely to come LOL.
The Bravia has the old game box which I moved into a media center box w/ lcd display. Although all the software still resides on that machine including the games, it is only a P4 2.4 w/ 1 gig RAM, so not as fun to game on since the new machine. When I put the new rig on the TV with the 6.1 sound, KABOOM!. Too bad that will be restricted to times of opportunity (1 hour a month!?!)
Side note: the DVR is my favorite invention, and my most hated enemy. I can record a movie or History channel show or something once a month, but hours and hours of reality TV, American Idol, etc. consumes the disk in it from my wife. :eek:
