If you don't care about slim size, I would recommend a RP CRT TV. They are much cheaper than DLP, LCD, RPLCD, not to mention plasma, and properly set up, can rival/better a lot of them. I would have picked one up if I had the room and my wife didn't veto it.

My fave is still Hitachi 65S500. Honking big 65" screen with a great picture. Can be found at very good prices these days, new or used.

Sony WS550 series RPCRT's are good also. Mitsubishi WS series are always good, and Toshiba RPCRT has gotten good reviews, too.

If you don't wanna spend too much $ and have no-frills widescreen HDTV, these are the way to go IMO.
