Since you didn't specify whether you prefer a rear projection or a direct-view TV, I assume you are open to either.

Try the Samsung TSK3092WF. It's a direct-view 30" 16:9 SDTV (480p) with built-in line doubler, 1 RGB-HV input, 1 component video input, 2 composite video inputs, and 1 S-Video input.

I just got one for about two grand at Tweeter and despite the small size, it's fabulous. Works really well with DVDs.

As a bonus, it has a built-in AC-3 decoder with built-in speaker outs for center and surround speakers.

I have been watching some of CBS's prime-time HD programs on it and the picture is great.
