I am no expert but I can offer up what I know...

I have a Sony LCD that has been excellent for the past 5 years, had to replace the bulb but that was only 200 bucks and after over 14K hours.

Go with 1080p resolution, and HDMI inputs will help.

when checking out these TV's look at them from the side and you will notice the variences much better than straight on.

Look for true black when watching them, some will show black looking kind of more like a deep charcoal.

Know the features you want before you shop.

Every TV looks way better in the store than at home.

Some of the new Blu-Ray players support Net Flix and that is pretty nice since they have tons of movies that you cant rent at the local video store and they are streamed to your tv.
