HDTV 16:9 Ratio Televisions. Which one should I get?
I have a 36" RCA HP Theater TV which I am selling online in order to get a widescreen TV.
What should I look for? I have a normal DVD Player, DirectTV, Cable and a ReplayTV.
I like the widescreen option, and hope to get a tv from $1500-$2200 at most.
I did look at the Toshiba 40H80 and think it looks nice, I have to go to Best Buy and Sears this week to scope them out in person.
Any tips, and ideas from what models/brands you have would be most appreciated.

My friend picked up that 38" RCA widescreen with the built in HDTV processor and DirecTV receiver also. I was checking it out and it was actually pretty nice. I was surprised at how real the pricture looked. For $2300 with 5 year warranty isn't bad either.

Crazy Eddie is still around? I thought he was in jail! 
I will try and take this to Sears and see if they pricematch. I know they have the WX51 for $1999 and I found it on the net in various places for $1799. Was going to try that, but if they will match the $1500 price, that would be great. Gonna check and see if crazy eddie has the 51.

Okay, now here is what I have so far...
Sears has the Panasonic PT-47WX49 for $1999.
There is a 10% event online tonight, when you select the product, it shows a 5% or 10% coupon, it came up as 10% after awhile on the site.
After tax and shipping the total is $1968.79
Only bummer is that this is the PT-47WX49 and not the PT-47WX51
I can pricematch Crazy Eddie with my American Express Blue card and get $250 back, making my delivered total $1718.79. Not too bad. Now I have another dilema, which I will start in another thread...
