You might want to stick with one brand, if you aren't concered with having each component being best in class or if you're not a videophile. If you just want something for everyday viewing consider the following:

I purchased a Sony LCD, a Sony Receiver, and a Sony DVD player for primarily one reason (in addition to my previously good experiences with Sony TVs) something Sony calls "Bravia Sync". Bravia Sync is Sony's way of having all the devices talk to oneanother. The payoff is that you can reduce the number of remote controls you need to operate the system. In fact, for everyday viewing I can get by with just one remote, the universal cable remote from Comcast. It controls the cable box and the TV which in turn controls the Receiver. Makes my daily life simpler.

I suspect other brands may have similar offerings, although I haven't looked.
