I just bought the Sony 60" SXRD Projection tv (KDS-60A3000) and I love it. I'm a Sony person so take that into affect when reading my 2 cents.
I went from a Tube 32" Sony to this thing and I am amazed at the picture. The SXRD chip works like a DLP chip basically. The TV also has a motion engine that makes the picture seem like 3D to me. I play Playstation3 on it in HD as well as my media PC and HD cable box. It has three HDMI inputs, 2 component inputs, one VGA PC input, an S video and a few regular inputs as well. I like the fact that it has a HD converter in it so all I had to do was hook up a regular antenna to get the free HD channels. The thing weighs all of 90 lbs and is about 18" deep, which isn't bad. I was thinking of building a shelf on the wall to put it on instead of buying a stand but I didn't think of that until after I got it home.
Sony makes a 50" thats in your price range right now with the 10% off from Best Buy. I bought mine for less than $2000 at the sale price and couldn't be happier.
Also, I noticed when looking at these TV's in the stores, most of them are being fed the picture through the regular Coaxial cable so it doesn't show the best picture. The best picture comes through the HDMI cables so keep that in mind while giving the Sony's a consideration.
