Here's the deal, after my parent's 36" Sony Trinitron SD CRT bit the dust a week ago, they've been watching on a twenty year old 27" RCA ColorTrack 2000.

They want to go hi-def, with certain guidelines:

- LCD (they are quite paranoid with Plasma)
- 1080p (if 46" or more)
- "around" $1,500-2,400
- "around" 40" to 50"
- wall-mountable
- high reliability

***Purchase has to be made by May 15th***

I've tried to point them towards Sony Bravia and Samsung's 650 ToC series...but their price limit might screw them out of these...?

Any suggestions? links? Is there any "diamond in the roughs" I'm unaware of? They also entrust me with online purchases, so options don't have to be necessarily be at B & M stores.

I want whatever they decide on to be eye-popping! They'll be sporting my old HD-A1 for DVD/HD DVD playback and they'll be getting ComcastHD. Plus they'll be getting my old Polk 5.1 surround system and H/K receiver.

Thanks guys!
