That is the model that I am also considering. You may be able to find a better price though:

I went ahead and purchased this TV. Do I need HDMI cables to hook it up to a standard progressive scan DVD player? Are the HDMI cables only for hooking up to HD devices? I have a Toshiba HD A2 DVD player on pre-order and that may come with an HDMI cable, so I did not want to buy the extra cable unless it was required.

positives:
- picture and sound quality are good
- the menu is easy to use
- nice design
- already calibrated very well (colors, brightness, tint, etc.)
- widescreen zoom mode seems fine
negatives:
- picture looks a little too computer-like or digital at times when watching DVDs (I was told HDMI cables would help significantly)
- volume is inconsistent from DVD to DVD
- regular TV looks just ok
