You did really well with your choices Beth
I LOVE buying A/V Gear and would consider myself an expert.
That TV is very good all around. I got one for my parents. Did you get the 1500 or the 2500 bluRay?
Either is a very good unit. The 1500 is the best model out for the money right now. Be sure to connect it to the net and get the latest firmware.
I am not as familiar with the Nero system, but if it is affiliated with Nakamichi then I imagine it is high quality.
Of course your new TV is way too small for me
Mine is 4 times bigger. But yet I am a little crazy as you know
I bet you had to pay someone to come take your old tv outta there!
