Time to finally address the weak-link in my HT room...TV.

Given a $2000 budget(US funds, a bit more in Cdn), what would you recommend?

I currently have a 32"ish Panasonic Gau (sp?) jobber from the aparment days a few years back...that's moving into the extra closet in the master bedroom so I can watch the Monday night games from bed.

I was looking at Hitachi, and Toshiba HDTV's, 51"...there the only ones I've seen...I like the size, could go bigger I suppose, wouldn't wan't to go below 40" or so.

I know next to nothing about TV's...except I want a bigger, newer one that is HD ready so I can get the better picture/Dolby Digital from the satellite receiver. And though I doubt my budget accomodates one, I'm not interested in plasma tv's.

Any recommendations? Anything I should know?

Help much appreciated!!!
