For LCD, the Samsung sets are currently better than the Sony ones (even if both are S-LCD panels).

For mainstream products...
Pioneer Elite Plasma
Samsung LCD 65 Series (4065, 4665...)

Sharp is amazing. Sharp Aquos, Samsung and Sony. Those are the only 3 LCDs i would get, make sure its not just sharp though, Sharp Aquos is the good one. just regular sharp TVs suck.

Go with LCD instead of Plasma. Yes the plasma are much better today then they have been in the past, but if you have ANY lights in your room, you will see a glare on the Plasma screen, as they are very very shiny. LCD look fantastic.

Make sure its a 1080p. Don't skimp on this one.
Make sure it has at least 2 HDMI inputs.
Make sure its diagonal size is what you want for your room.. Bigger is not always better if your 5 feet from your TV and you have a 60" TV.

Brand wise.. if its 1080p, just make sure you buy a "recognized" brand.

I suggest in order of my percieved quality:

Sony
LG
Toshiba
Sharp
Samsung

The Sony TV's tend ot have a faster millisecond processors, but its probably nothing the human eye can detect. The Toshiba's look awsome for the money, they have probably the best bang for the buck right now. LG has a great quality, but they are kinda new to the TV making scene. Their best feature imho is a very very wide viewing angle, which is just as good if not better then Sony.

However, as long as its a 1080p HD and a good brand.. honestly, you can't go wrong with most of the TV's. So, price might be a factor.
