Normally, I'm not THAT budget conscious about audio/video gear. However, I've been directed by the alpha female to pick up a TV for the kids. 8-)
I'm thinking along the lines of a wall mounted (out of harm's way) 37" LCD screen. I buy a lot of gear from PC Connection for my company so I can get the Syntax Olevia LT37HVE for about $1200 with my discount. Anyone here ever seen one of these in use for home theater?

that I was using for my laptop at work. And I'll probably throw in some inexpensive DVD player with a DVD-I output.
Any suggestions would be welcome. The idea is to have it be nice enough and somewhat "kid resistant" which is why I'm not really considering a home theater receiver or a more mainstream flat screen display.
Cheers,
