If you are looking at low end stuff (like me), be very careful that it 
has the right connections for your needs.  Some of the cheap models skip 
the stereo input that needs to go with the VGA connection, so if you 
want to use VGA from your frontend with the built in TV speakers, you 
will have problems.  Also be aware that almost all cheap TV's share 
composite and component connections.  If you have a surround sound 
system, make sure that it is also compatible.  My new Haier only has 
Coaxial SPDIF out, not optical, which would be a deal breaker for some 
people.  Definitely get 3 or more HDMI ports, so you have lots of 
flexibility down the road.
