I hear wonderful things about the Sony AQUOS 32". Consumer Reports rates it highly. About $1599 currently at Best Buy.

does size (screen) matter?
what is the viewing distance? meaning how far away will you be sitting from the screen
is HD (high definition) something you want (it should be!)?

viewing distance is about 8 feet away. as for screen size i dont want no 20" but i was hoping to get around 35 or alittle bigger. i realy liked the 42" ive seen but most of them had 2,200$ price tags.

As for HD. Dont you half to have HD cable and stuff to get benifits out of the TV? Well i guess the movies would probly benifit from it. For DVD id probly want to have it. So Ya HD probly is a key feature.

Another question: is the $1500 for the TV alone, or is it for the TV and all the cables to hook it up? Keep in mind that a good set of component video cables (a must, because then you can do progressive scan) costs at least $40 or so. Then if you have a surround system (which, if you're a big movie guy, you should), you'll need some sort of digital audio cable to connect your DVD to your receiver. Once again, $40+. If you want your television in HD, you'll need the HDMI cables to connect to your cable or satellite receiver. Again, you're looking $50 or more.

Spending well over $1000 on a TV without buying the correct cables to hook it up is like putting regular unleaded in a Ferrari: yes, the car will go, but you just wasted your money, because you're not getting the horsepower you paid for. Keep that in mind. If you tell us what you have and what you need to hook up, we can give you an idea of how much all the cables will cost, too. Unless, of course, you've already figured that into the budget.

i was figuring in 1500$ just for the TV. the rest would be extra that i would be willing to spend on.

I bought http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/televisi...p?model=51hc85 about 2 months ago at bestbuy, it was 1199.00 and so far it's been a great tv. Projection is an older technology compared to dlp and plasma, but I spent alot of time researching and from what I've seen (from friends, etc) that Toshiba has better picture when in HD than the 3 or 4 dlp tv's from different brands, even tho they cost over 2x as much. Only drawback is that it's big, but space was not a concern for me.

And yea, the cables were not something that I factored into the final cost, I was planning on spending much more than 1200, so it wasn't a big deal, but for the digital audio and dvi to hdmi cables, it was right around 180 bucks.

i have the sharp aquos 26". bought it at bestbuy and the total was a little over $1400. The size is perfect for my bedroom. Its not too small, the picture is amazing and the sound is great. At first I only had a cable line running directly into it but now i have an HD DVR box connected with component cables. The picture quality improved greatly after hooking up the box. All around good tv.
