CNET really likes the Samsung LN-T4665F. It's $700 over your budget. I've checked it out at CC and BB and really like what I see.

I would not buy a great TV without an AV receiver and excellent set of 5.1 speakers to go with it. Great picture without great sound is missing half of the sensory experience.

I agree. Most people just buy the big screen and use the speakers on the TV.

If they don't get the 5.1 surround sound with a big honkin' sub-woofer they are really missing out. Especially for movies.
