Can any of you kind souls help me narrow the field a bit? If you had a $2500 budget and absolutely hated Sony (as I do). What LCD TV would you buy? I would like it to be 46" (I sit about 100 inches from the set) but 42" would be good if it meant a noticeably better quality picture. Would 1080p be worth it? I tend to believe I won't notice the difference from 720p and could use the extra few hundred dollars to buy a new receiver. Would it be better to wait for the new batch of LCD's coming out with better contrast ratios and 120Hz capabilities? :confused: Any comments are appreciated even if you're a Sony fanboy and want to flame me for hating on them :p

LC-46D62U - might be able to find one for $2500
Runco Cx-46HD - don't know about pricing
LN-S4696D - same for the first one

if you look around, you can find the samsung LNS4695d and sharp LC46D62U for under your budget.

Also the Mitsubishi LT46131.
