HD is B-E-A utiful!

Took the plunge and got a HD LCD LED TV for myself( and the family) for Christmas.  Ended up getting an LG 42LH90. The picture quality is superb and the matte finish of the screen keeps the glare down. One of the coolest features of the TV is that it supports video files through the USB port on the side of the TV.  DIVX is the advertised compatible video format but if you check the manual you'll find a long list of supported file types.

Frustrating thing is that it doesn't support DTS audio codec which is very popular especially in the packaged MKV videos.  If you really want to play an unsupported video type you can always hook up a home theater PC or (like me) use a laptop with an HDMI output and use VLC which works wonderfully.
