Ok, so I finally bit the bullet & spent a wack of $$ on a new LCD tv.

I ended up with a 46" 1080p Sony Bravia Model number KDL 46VL130 or V3000. Picked it up at Hi-Tech Services Open Box Company in Surrey.

I paid $1499 for it rather than $1199 for a 40" Sony Bravia.

I ended up going with this tv because it has a fairly decent picture even with just Standard Def cable signal.

Happy with it so far. It's a step down from my brother's Sony Bravia XBR, but I also paid almost a thousand less today than he paid for one in the fall '07.

Thanks for everyone who contributed to the discussion.

Next, make sure to buy, rent, borrow or steal an A/V setup DVD, or have the TV calibrated by a pro. You will not believe how much better your TV will look. A bad TV with a good setup will KILL a good TV with out-of-the-box settings. A good TV with a good setup = WOW. Hardly anyone bothers, but it is well worth the money.
