Depends what size you want.. On the high end (just over 500 with a little negotiating ) would be a 27" Sony WEGA...
I have one and love it... If you need a bigger screen, I am sure there are options, but cannot help there.

I am looking for somethig at least 27... the wega would be nice... but unfortunatly my wife doesn't care for the style of it...the silver. I was looking at a JVC D series... I think the 201 was decent... anyone have this? How is it? Any issues that popped up?

In your price range, I would suggest either a 32 inch Toshiba Cinema Series or a 27 inch Sony Wega. The Wega definitely has a better picture, but is also much more expensive. The Toshiba is a very nice TV, but it doesn't offer the flat display.

Liver&Onions,
My wife felt similarly and also wondered why I wanted to spend the extra bucks on the flat screen. We went to the stores and compared the pictures. She was sold.
Now she wants a 36" VVega for another room...

I am mostly concerned with sharpness and detail when it comes to the picture, and this TV is great for both of these.
Also, the JVC had all the features I was looking for: digital comb filter, 700 lines of resolution, front panel input (composite, front s-video would be nice), component input, S-Video input.
What prices have you found for the JVC? I got mine for ~389.00 at Circuit City. http://www.homebyfive.com has great deals on JVC gear, check 'em out.
I would only consider the Wega if you can get it close to $500. When I was looking, I couldn't find one cheaper than $700 (didn't look real hard tho)

Wow, 389 seems like a great price... she shouldn't complain at that low price... I will check out my circuit city and see what it is... I haven't looked much yet, but I definatly will now.. is that the 501 or 201? Is the only difference PIP?
