Also, whatever you do don't buy an extended warranty.
Ok, worst advice of this thread... those fucking idiots that get paid $5-10/hr at whatever big box B&M place around you generally dont know shit... Find out where you local serious A/V store is, and pick thier brains, even a Tweeter (or maybe still sound advice in your area) will generally have a higher education level than the managers at any BB, CC or whatever.
If you looking for biggest bang for your buck, Id recommend a 42/43" rear projection LCD/DLP TV.. right now they are about 2k... but with the financing options and such out there, maybe you can fit an extra 500 into your budget.
As for the extended warranties... look at what they cover, if you find one for less than 10% of the total cost of the set for 4 or 5 years, you might want to consider it.. any of these new technologies can have issues over time.. and the first time you need a video board replaced or a lamp doesnt light... youll pay more than the warranty cost..
) some time this year, and their are obviously 2 costs involved, the TV itself, and any satellite/cable box/DVR combo.
