TurnerF- I would like to have that new Samsung DLP RPTV myself- but since it isn't in the cards right now for me- go for it! I think right now it's as "future proof" as any now on the market regards connections. Gonk and Lena are right,you could wait for all these issues to be ironed out, but you probably will be waiting for several years to come. So if you 're ready buy now and have a great time with your new set. I don't even think you'd be considered an "early adapter" anymore! Reminds me of one of my neighbors when years ago I demo'd my first Dolby Pro Logic system for him. He was impressed. A month or so later I asked him if he was ready to set up his own system to which he replied that he was going to wait to see what changes were coming to make sure he got the latest and greatest. He's still waiting! Me, I think I'll wait to see what my neighbor buys...
