TV Recommendations

Posted this at AVS forum, but seems to be below them. Then posted it here without changed the default subject. OOPS.

Looking to set up a movie system....progressive scan dvd and Rear projection wide screen TV. Been into audio for quite awhile, but I don't know jack about video.

Total Budget is $2500 (or less)

For DVD I'm fairly set on the Denon - DVM-2815, seems to have what I want. (coax digital out at least so I can send it to my DAC)

That leaves around $2000 for the TV.

Not interested in HD cable or over air HDTV, so I think that means I don't need certain resolutions and features.

Size: At least 40"

Only other issue is thinner is better, don't need a wall hanger but under 20" deep would be nice.

What should I be looking at?

What would you buy???

Even a link to a site that reviews TVs would be useful. Compared to Audio the video world is nuts (and that says something). Seems to me there are whole new model lines every two months.

Thanks.

Thanks Guys....Always helpful people here.

I guess I was thinking of a Higher Def tv, just that I don't need the highest resolutions (1080I) to save money.

Isn't Progressive DVD just 480P??

Anyone else favor the digital projector idea?

Hadn't thought of that, $1500 projector $500 screen and cables??

Cheers

Nice set up Dave!

General TV viewing is just bad for me, in fact I haven't owned a TV for 4 years. I do really like watching movies at home and am tired of using the computer.

Actually I just thought that projectors were too expensive, didn't know you could get them for $1k. The Infocus X-1 is really interesting.

How does it connect to the DVD? Some sort of componet to VGA converter box?

To use it for TV I assume you need a tuner?

Thanks again.
