Search walmart.com for a 60" Panasonic TC-P60U50 plasma: it's $948 + tax and can be delivered to your nearest store.
Get the Spears&Munsil Blu-ray calibration disc. No display should be used without at least a simple calibration from the user. You can find it online for about $25.
Pre-order an oppo BDP-103 from oppo Digital's website: price is $499 + shipping. Get on their waiting list to be notified.
Get your HDMI cables (and a 2-port or 3-port passive HDMI auto-switcher if you will be using more than two HDMI or DVI devices) from monoprice.com.
All of the above should come in at under $1625.
