Peter, I hesitated to reply since my first suggestion was going to be to convince Jessica to rotate the arrangement an additional 270 degrees, but decided that she wouldn't have been amused.

My next thought was to suggest one of the flat panel LCDs because of greater reliability than RPTVs, among other factors. Your budget limit stopped me on that. If you could bump it up a bit though, you could consider at least one of the 46-47" models, such as the Sony KDL-46S3000.
