    Cool, thanks.........mine are both around the 45 mark. I never knew they would mess up the bulb.

      Anyone that has the Samsung 5087 or 50xx series, how do the 360 VGA cables look? I am reading reviews about them on the net and about 50/50 people say that the screen either looks "10x better than component" or "these cables make the 360 too washed out". Anyone have any insight on this?

        Buy some from Best Buy to try out and then if you don't like them they will return them for full credit.

            I'd be interested to see how well they work with the 5087W.

                The VGA cables on the Sammy 5087 should be comparable to my 61"... and it looked great on them. I couldn't see a whole lot of color loss, or anything like that. In my eyes, it was on par with component, if not a tad more crisp. I just didn't keep it on the 360 because my PC was hooked up as well... and didn't want to keep switching back and forth. You should be please man.

                    I stopped it... I put the money from the Sammy in my 4.85% ING Savings account... figured I'd just save it until I find something that I really want. I haven't even looked. I'll just keep what I have right now until something really jumps out and grabs me, which will likely be the 2nd string of HDMI 1.3 sets.

                      Not a bad idea.

                        No problem. Like EG said, it's referred to as torch mode. It's not the worst thing that one can do, but it will lessen the bulb's life.

                          Good looking out Coogrfan. I have heard good things about this tv. It's looks like you can't beat it for the price.

                            I'm picking up the 32" LG tomorrow. I've finally decided on it. I just can't justify an extra $250 on the Sony even though the picture may look just a little better.
