TV's and Home Stereo's

I understand this is not a forum for this kind of thing. I am wondering if you guys know if there are any sites or forums such as anatech or toms hardware but that are devoted to TV's and home entertainment stuff. My dad wants me to buy him a new TV/homevstereo but I'm not familiar with the technologies that are out there right now. I'm also not familiar with how these technologies interact with a computers video card and how a person could take advantage of this type of setup.

If you could recommend some sites it would be appreciated. Thank you.

In case you have some knowledge and could help me more. Please do. Basic questions I have are as follows:

How can you use the HDTV capabilites on your video card with a good TV and what are considerations in available technology a person may want to have for future advancements?
If you could buy any 40+ inch TV in general what would it be? (no matter the price)
If you could buy any 40+ inch TV to accompany your computer right now...what would it be?
If you could buy any 40+ inch TV right now for under $2000 what would it be?
 
Just bought a Sony 50 inch lcd projection...it's pretty sweet. Have my old Dell hooked up to it and I run all my stuff over the network to it, it's pretty cool. It was a bit more than 2000 and there were bigger and cheaper options but I think this was a good investment.
 
If you get an HDTV with DVI or HDMI input, you should be able to connect it the output on your videocard.
Also, you can get a card that cas component output and connect it that way.

For the future, make sure you get a set that is HDCP compliant.

I'm kind of a projector guy... so what I would buy probably doesn't apply to you.

I have a 76" image coming from my Infocus 4805 but it's not HD.

For HD, I'd be looking at a Panasonic ae700 for under $2000

For any price I'd probably still stay within reason and get a 720p DLP projector or something.
