Lots of great advice posted here. My preference is to view the latest features to see for myself if they mattered. For example, I personally do not see any real difference from 60 Hz to 240 Hz refresh rates on an LCD even for sports action like baseball. But it's supposed to be better for using the tv as a gaming monitor.
My additional recommendations :
1) my panasonic plasma screen still looks fabulous after 3 hard years of use. I have to recommend you look.
2) I won't buy any LCD screen without LED backlit. Less dimming issues in the long run and does not raise cost that much.
3) I'm very pleased with two Vizio model LCDs; Sam's club was a great place to shop for slightly older models at a hefty discount. Go there if you know what key features you must have. My 47" Vizio is still a good deal and was purchased over a year ago.
