Right now, I think I'm most interested in a flat panel LCD, because I would like to be able to mount it on the wall. I would consider the DLP rear projection as well. I just have to go out and start looking at some.

One thing that I really want, as long as it doesn't add a lot of cost, is the ability to hook up a PC to the TV. I think that would be awesome to be able to listen to music, watch movies, or go online while lounging on the sofa. PC games would be pretty cool too. Does anyone know if there's a way to do this, or do you pretty much need a giant TV/Monitor?
Pretty much all TV's come with S-Video, DVI, HDMI, Component, plug-ins. Not sure what kinda computer you have, but my computer has dvi, and s-video outputs, so I can hook it up to the tv no problem. Even if you don't have that kind of output on your computer, you can either get a video card that does, or just get little converter plug that'll convert the output to whatever kinda cable you want.
