I swear I already wrote a response to this... but it's not here.

Anyway, you can get a good DLP 40"-46" for $2000 - $3500 from Toshiba or Samsung. Why bother with half-def? You'll certainly manage alright with your DVDs with EDTV, but not with any Hi def programming or the pending hi def home video formats (HD-DVD/Blu-Ray). Unless you plan on replacing the TV within 2 years or so...
