Dallas the TV is a Mitsubishi WD-73827, a new model from them. We were considering a smaller TV along with a projector and a pull down screen but the consensus around my household was to opt for the 73" TV. It's not too bad at 188lbs...compare that to some of the larger tube TVs and it's a lightweight!
I'll build a sturdy shelve in such a manner that the front surface of the center will be even with the screen of the TV. I did that for my current VP100 and 37" Plasma and it works great.
