hi DannyC
welcome! I'm a bit of a CRT proponent when it comes to TVs. Maybe a 36" from Toshiba or Sony is worth looking at. Sony even makes a 40" that'll come in under your $2000 budget with a little haggling (I'm assuming that's USD) here:
Sony 40XBR800
Though they're maybe not the most easily transportable option, CRTs still offer the best picture performance for the money. I'm still very happy that I spent the money 2 years ago for my tube. There seems to be even more options/confusion in the market about which display is going to be the tech of the future. Until that settles out, maybe it's not a bad idea to look into a CRT. Just one man's opinion.
Good luck!
