I have to second (third? fourth?) the Samsung suggestion.  I have the 
third-generation 61" DLP RPTV, and it rocks.  I can not say enough good 
things about the picture: it simply has the most natural color 
saturation of any TV I've ever witnessed when viewing DVD's or HDTV.

SDTV, on the other hand, suffers with any HDTV, and this one is no 
exception.  If you intend to watch lots of SDTV even after getting the 
new monitor, I'd strongly recommend watching it on a smaller physical 
display: either keep a crappy 27" electron gun around, or (like I do) 
watch SDTV on a computer with a Myth remote frontend.  Much more 
pleasant than viewing washed-out color and low resolution on a very 
large display.

Cheers,
Kyle
