I'd go with the Sharp LC-42D92U which isn't out yet (due within the next month or so but 15,000:1 CR and 120Hz and three HDMI with 5-wavelength backlight. Well worth waiting for as they will leapfrog previous generation. Sharp jumps from 37" to 42" - no 40" panel.
The next gen Sony and Samsung 40" 120Hz panels with better CR won't be out until July these also would be great if one has patience.
Oh - Samsung LED 40" LE40M91 may also be a good match since price doesn't matter here - but I haven't seen it's US Debut yet - it may also be part of the July panels - the LED has huge Color Gamut.
I would not consider any of top five LCD's coming out as a "worst" at all - the top five would all be great now go down the line to off brands or the worst I ever owned temporarily two years ago was an RCA and it only looked good turned off, what a POS that thing was - SDE, NO blacks and green gray blacks just horrible PQ and it was replaced with the Sony and then Sharps and I like the Samsung LCD's very much also and Sony. I'm in the camp of those three primarily as BEST and the leaders in LCD.
I learned my lesson buying the RCA in the beginning and that you get what you pay for though most have improved dramatically since.
