The best TV in my eyes is a Sony. It's not the cheapest but the Picture Quality makes up for it.

Sony Bravia series are the best.If the price is to high for you go with either a Sharp aquos or Samsung.You can't go wrong with these sets.

I have to agree with getting a Sony as I just purchased a 60" 1080p 120hz SXRD Bravia A3000 for $1950 (just a bit outside your price range posted). The quality is just amazing and I am glad I waited until the 120hz model came out. Excuse the mess in the pic below.

1080p is the best, and it should fit your entire screen, yes.

Yeah thats what happened to me until i got widescreen tv and can now see the whole picture, if you play resistance/warhawk you will realise you missed out on alot!
1080p is best but there are not many games that currently run in that resolution, if you can afford it and prepared to pay that nuch extra then go ahead.

Pioneer, Panasonic, Sony in that order. If its mainly for games get an lcd otherwise plasma's are much much better.

Is that just as good as an LCD or is it darker because it's a projection, or is it even better? I know SXRD TVs are a lot cheaper compared to size and thy looked nice but everyone always says LCD is the way to go...
Right now m interested in the SHARP D64U series. I'm getting either the 46" or 42" version if anything... Picture quality is the best I would think for under $2000.

I just got a new Samsung 61" 1080p DLP and a PS3, and I love it. If you are going with something that size or larger I think you can tell a big difference between 720p and 1080p. If you get a smaller sized LCD but set right on top of it, I think you can tell a difference too, but if you set decently far away from it I don't think it makes that big of a difference. 120Hz seems to help with games too. I personally think DLP is awesome for games.

This TV is getting/has EXCELLENT reviews and I can say from owning it I am absolutely not disappointed. The size for the price with all the options (120 hz, 24p etc.) is hard to beat. Everyone who comes over who has an HD TV already are blown away with the quality and picture. It's not dark at all, especially with the settings I use for viewing. Here is a good site for more info on it http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=889226

Wow, that sounds like an LCD without the LCD! You wouldn't have any idea where I could find one of those in Southern Ontario, would you(BB and FS don't have'em)? lol
Not the 60... Maybe like the 55 or the 50...
***
Ugh Damn, I was just reading that Sony will not be selling this TV in Canada?! Those b@stards... That has everything I need for under what would probably be $1600 for the 50". The only thing I don't like is the 130* viewing angle, but I could live with that I guess(I already am with my dinosaur Panasonic rear-projection 1080i HDTV, or worse). It has a 5ms response time, a 10000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and probably a 2000:1 true contrast ratio(average of most LCDs) and a 120Hz frame rate, a bonus. Plus, it's 50". I could just buy one over the boarder but then I'd probably have to pay taxes and the warranty becomes useless :(

Just some additional info Sony's tech is SXRD - Silicon X-tal Reflective Display or LCoS - Liquid Crystal on Silicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-ILA) so it's not LCD or DLP. I'm sure if you look around you can hopefully find it. Good Luck.

Is it just me or is there hardly any difference between 1080p and 1080i? They both looked as good as each other when I saw them.

I think it makes a difference depending on the size of the TV. I notice a difference on my 61" but don't on some smaller flat pannels.

Thanx man. I just got a new Amex with 15 months 0% apr on it so I wanted to exercise my credit a little bit. That plus the sale of the old TV and a bit of some saved cash makes it a bit easier to do/pay off.

I have the 60" SXRD A2000. It is an excellent tv for the price. I play all my games on it (PS2/PS3/Wii/PC). Although the drawback is that it's got overscan (image too big to fit the screen, edges get cut off), same as the A3000. It's not too much, but it's there.

I haven't noticed any overscan issues on my setup, but I did make every type of adjustment as possible.

its so anoying.. i hope theres something i can do..
anyways.. despite that drawback.. the picture on the tv is amazing.. not perfect 1080p but it still looks very nice and no ghosting effects whatsoever
