We did something like what you want to do on the cheap.
Earlier this year our old 19" TV in the bedroom went out. I found one of the last 32" Sanyo wide flat screen CRT HDTVs at Walmart reduced to $399, so brought it home.
At an earlier date had picked up an old Rotel receiver at a yard sale for $2. It's early 70s vintage, and actually has matrix quadraphonic circuitry. Since I had four old Radio Shack Minimus 7s hanging around I hooked them up and we got some interesting surround effects with many films. Eventually got tired of the effects, and removed the rear speakers. I'm a 2 channel guy myself also. If I get ambitious or bored may get a little subwoofer, but for not it's fine for a bedroom system.
For $3k you should have loads of great options.
