LCD TV Decision

[Stoopalini]

I'm in process of upgrading my HT, and next on the list is a TV to replace my Sony 36XBR250 CRT.

I've decided on an LCD, although I'm not opposed to a plasma if it makes sense. Seating position is about 10' back in a room with LOTS of natural light (windows on both sides).

• I would like to get one which does not have speakers integrated (or if they are, not very apparent as I will never use them).
• I don't care if it has an HD tuner or not, as I don't mind installing a STB for over the air HD channels.
• HDMI input is a must.
• My built in entertainment center has me limited to 47" in width, so whatever I choose must be 47" or narrower.
• Budget is ~$2k

So far, I'm considering the Sharp Aquos 46D62U set. I've read good reviews on this set, and found a decent price within my budget from an online retailer.

Any help, opinions, suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Thomas.

If I was shopping for a new LCD TV the Sharp Aquos, Sony and Samsung sets would be on my short list :T That's probably your best starting point. From there look at PQ, price, features GUI etc.

Good luck

If I could afford the sharp I would definitely be all over it! :B

Well, I just ordered the Sharp LC-46D62U from Sears (got them to pricematch The Home Theater Store) for a great price. It should be delivered on Monday

Can't wait to finally move up to the HDTV club!
