Put it all toward a state-of-the-art sump pump system.

are you restricted on the size you can get because of the small trailer you live in?

My local Sam's had a Samsung 61" DLP 1080p with the stand included for 2099. It was a fabulous looking TV. I'm not sure if it was the same model # as that one.

I'm waiting for 37" 720P to hit $450 before I jump in. My 27" CRT HDTV is still kicking along.

Get something of a reasonable size so you can save some $$$, and put the remainder to buying a hi-def DVD player. Might as well enjoy the movies at the best possible detail!

Don't rush into it too quickly - do some research. That's the fun part Also, don't buy from Best Buy.

 

[Shadowknight]

Oh, and check out Fatwallet. They usually track good deals, and see if they can point you to a good TV that is or will be on sale

My friend bought his "55-60 inch DLP" for under $1500.

 

[chuckywang]

I am looking to buy one as well.

Samsung 61" 1080P

It was a great deal at $1699, became a smoking hot deal when the price dropped to $1499 online before it went OOS.

If you have a Sam's Club, Micro Center or Fry's Electronics near you check them out as well.

I'd get a Samsung 1080p DLP or LCoS (Sony SXRD or JCD HD-ILA).

I would also consider a Mitsubishi DLP

I bought my TV locally only because they were willing to negotiate. Otherwise I probably would have ordered through Amazon.com

I wish I had waited. For the same price I paid I could have a nice Samsung 1080p DLP

Your TV was banged around a Chinese factory, scooted around a container ship, trucked across several ZIP codes, carted around a warehouse, loaded/unloaded at every step by minimum wage employees.

I don't understand why people think a shipping company is the first time their item has been handled outside the factory. If shipping companies were so horrible that it began to affect a retailer's bottom line, they wouldn't be around for long.

well IF UPS,FEDEX or DHL can't deliver a $20 package without it getting pretty banged up i worry about a $2k TV.
