I took Steve's advice from the last wing night I went to, and got me a Toshiba 56HM195. 56" DLP in true 1080i resolution ("accepts" 1080i is bulls***, the physical resolution is all that matters)
Pretty damn good price for this thing too, $2500 for a pretty big TV.
The quality is awesome, I couldn't be happier. It's hard to compare TV's in the store, because the feeds they send are usually quite bad. But when I got this thing home, I couldn't believe it.
I'm now using a Bell Expressvu HD reciever, sending a 1080i signal via HDMI/DVI. The HD channels blow away anything I ever saw in the stores, and even the SD channels look fantastic. Again, much much better than watching SD programming on an HD TV in the stores. I don't know why all that is exactly... but whatever.
Even watching 480i signal from an old DVD player is great.
The only complaint I could have is that it doesn't have a VGA input, and there is a fair amount of colour banding. Common complaint from these sets.
