The difference between 1600 and 3000 is less noticable than 23" and 27". I'd go with the bigger one...

27, 23 is small and a waste of that much money....in fact if ur gonna spend that much i dont see any reason than going lower than 42...just my 2 cents

well, i'm only spending around $650. i don't think i can get a 42 inch with just that much.. (and i mean actually buying it)

It's generally safe to ignore a manufacturer's claim of contast ratio, especially with LCD tvs. I know you're not interested in brands, but Samsung is somewhat notorious for their "30001 dynamic contrast ratio" that, when measured by the ISF (Imaging Science Foundation), is substiantially lower.

Unless you're looking at one of the higher-end Sonys or Sharps, you can expect to compromise a bit in terms of black levels and contrast, so just go with the larger display.

OK, I've pretty much decided on the 27" one. Here's a link to the specs. Let me know what you think.

I was afraid of that. When I tried the link again it worked for me.

Go to the Plasma/LCD section and search for the model #. It turned up 8-10 threads.

Overall, people seemed happy with it. A few people had minor complaints, but for the money, it seems like a solid choice.
