New HDTV for the World Cup?

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

The clock is ticking (a little over a week,) and I still haven't purchased a HDTV to watch the World Cup. All the games will be broadcast in HDTV (half the games will be on ESPN2 which is not available in HDTV in my area,) and I'd like to get a new TV, but I feel paralyzed. I can't spend more than $2,000. I thought I had narrowed it down to either the Panasonic 37" plasma or the 42" Sony WEGA projection LCD, but then I became aware of the much cheaper off brand LCD's (Syntax, Viewsonic, etc.) I really don't watch that much tv (I have yet to get into home theater or even renting movies to watch at home) other than soccer. Are the off brands "good enough" and reliable enough, or should I go for the high quality name brands? Which choice would handle SD material best? I will be using cable for my signal.
