About two months ago I bought a Samsung HL-S5687 DLP and love it. It also comes in a 50 inch which is a little closer to the size you mentioned. I think that Samsung has now put out an HL S5088 model with some additional features which you might want. Might also give a chance to get the previous model on sale.

The 10,000 : 1 contrast ratio is what finally sold me on it. The picture just looked better than the other models I compared it to.

I can’t remember the model but it was a 37 inch Sony HD CRT that had the best picture of anything I looked at but it just weighed to much.
