I'm in kind of the same boat as you right now trying to wade through all of the information. What I've started doing is going to stores that have the sets displayed (Best Buy, Circuit City, Ultimate Electronics to name a few) and trying to determine the pictures that I like in my price range and then do some research on those units. (Usually at the links below.)

I'm also trying to work some other equipment into the budget, so I'd like to see the 60" models come down a bit before I jump in. I'd like to get an HD-PVR unit (once you have one, how could you live without it?!), so I'm also looking at who I'm going to get my signal from. Currently, I have Dish Network. Not sure if I'll stick with them or switch to something else. (VOOM, Direct TV or Charter Cable.)

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that has a 60" +/- DLP/LCD/LCoS unit 'round these parts. (I'm probably not going to go with a CRT based RPTV nor do I have the light control I need for a front projector.)

Here are the TV links to the AVS Forum and the Home Theater Forum .
