sup thad....i think the main difference is that the 32 has a multi-format memory stick reader and an extra video input. I have the 57732 and i can pull out my memory stick pro from my camera or my vaio and pop it in the tv slot and all the pics/video pop right up. It actually supports 4 different memory card formats.

The 732 is >$500 more than the 731...is it worth that much difference?

Also, is the mitsubishi THE BEST television at my price point? Ive been recommended the Sony SXRD, JVC LCoS, and Samsung DLP...how do they rank? What specific models should I look for? Remember it has to be ~$2500.

I've got a 360, and im absolutely dying to view it in all its HD glory

Personally, i would go with either the Mitsi or this 61" Samsumg Dlp....the samsung was the one i really wanted but the ABC Warehouse here has em on backorder

What are the specific advantages/disadvantages of each? Why did you like the Samsung more?

I bought that samsung. Awesome TV. Check out butterflyphoto.com to get it though. Best price I found on it.

The thing you have to worry about the Samsung DLP's are the pincushion problems they have. Other then that I love my Samsung DLP.

Have you conisdered a front projector? You can get the Optoma HD70 for $1k and it does 720P.

I was looking at TV's a few months back up to around $2500 and ended up with a projector instead. VERY happy with my decision and games on a 92" screen are amazing. I don't use it for daily TV viewing though as I have an old 36" that's still hanging in there.
