It's time for me to come out of the closet...

I don't have a HDTV yet...

After playing Gears of War, I've decided I need a new TV. 32" CRT isn't doing it anymore. I'm not looking to go huge, in fact, not much bigger than my CRT is fine.

I have been looking around at the selection for HDTV's, and it seems to me the only way I can get one with decent picture quality is if I spend $2500 at least. Is this the case or am I looking in the wrong places?

The best HDTV I have ever seen is the Samsung LNS4051D. A 40" LCD HDTV. Amazing picture quality. Unfortunately, it's one of the few that actually does seem to have good quality, and it will cost me $3000.

Is there no other option for a good TV?
