Avoid floor models, too-12 hours a day in torch mode for heaven knows how many days is a recipe for disaster.Look at the Hitachi 57S500 or Sony KP57WS510-both have a nice, big 57" picture and will look great once properly calibrated. Either can be had for under $2K, and it's a good time to shop around-next year's models are about to introduced, and there should be some good deals from the major retailers.
Follow Ups:
Bought mine from Sunshine, a well-rated eBay retailer (I did the "buy it now" option), and I'm very satisfied. With shipping from Brooklyn to Michigan it came out to exactly $2K, and the shipping company even brought the set into the house and plugged it in (to make sure there was no shipping damage). I haven't had the set calibrated yet, but the picture looks great right out of the box ("Pro" setting).One suggestion--I'm running the interlaced component video signal from my DVD player through a DVDO iScan Pro, and the line-doubled image (3:2 cinema pull-down on film-based sources) is excellent. The line-doubler in the Sony is OK, but usually you will get better results from a separate line-doubler/scaler.
