hi Marshall, I have the Mitsu 46-809 that I recently purchased a few months ago and I love it. my dvd's look great and I haven't upgraded to progressive scan yet(thats next). I really liked the 40 inch sony but needed to stay around 2,000.00 and wanted something a little bigger than 36 inches. I also have an apartment. When I saw it in the showroom I thought well that's not all that big but once I watched it at home for awhile I saw it again in that giant showroom and thought "it looks alot bigger in my place" 46 really is a good size for an apartment. 55 woulda been too big for my place. The cable tv signal doesn't look all that great as someone stated, but I don't watch much anyway, I mainly bought it for dvd. and I will eventually upgrade to HD anyway. Hope I could help.Happy hunting!
