Walmart caters to the price conscious. That is what they are after.

Most everyone is price conscious. Wal-Mart Online won't dominate anything without the best selection.

>> Anyone have a good recommendation on a fine quality HD TV not from Walmart of course? <<

What do you need an HDTV for? There are hardly any broadcasts out there, and by the the time HDTV broadcasts are prevalent the prices will have come down a bunch. There are issues about receiving HDTV broadcasts. There are still standards issues to be worked out. I just bought a TV and of course looked at HDTV's.

Just remember a few things. There are HDTV "ready" or "compatible" sets, and some that have full HDTV decoding built in so you won't need a separate box. A true HDTV will have an extra wide screen like in a movie theater. Some of these HDTV "ready" sets they sell in shops aren't extra-wide.

I don't think it will be worth buying an HDTV for a couple more years.

P.S. This is the TV I decided to go with:
sel.sony.com
