new TV...

The starting spot is to pick your technology. I have a DLP. You have to replace the damn bulb every couple of years ($$) and suggest you look elsewhere. I got it because it was cheaper and had no burn in issues or dropped pixel problems.

Plasma... looks great, expensive. Not kid friendly ( serious burn in issues)
and generates a fair amount of heat.

LCD.. the most popular. Has burn in issues, if you want to keep the set for a long time, this may be your best bet.

Spend some time learning the ins and outs of each technology.

The next thing to pick is size... basically get the smallest one that is big enough for your room.

The next step is brand and then model. If I was buying today, I'd get an LCD, I haven't been looking, so I can't help with the model.

Oh, if you want a cheap but really good dvd player to go with your new tv, get an Oppo.
