I'm a big fan of SONY products, BUT if you want LCD the Sharp AQUOS 45" line offers the best specs. The 45" (and 65" coming soon) offer 1920 x 1080 resolution - which is FULL 1080i/1080p resolution. This is HDTV as it's meant to be. Almost every other panel is 1366x768 or similar resolution. That's ok, but it's not the best res for HDTV. It will show you 720p resolutions 1:1 but 1080i/1080p HDTV will be down scaled to fit. These aren't cheap panels, but they really are the best choice for an HDTV panel at the moment.

When I move back to LA, I plan on putting a 45" on the new boat.
