I'd say look at Costco because if you get one, and don't like it, you can simply take it back and try another one, which is great for TV's. Also, if it blows up, take it back, no questions asked.
Some HiFi Home Theater TV, Audio Systems, DVD players reviews and technical info
You definately want to get a 1080p set because that's the highest resolution and most are going that direction now.
Unfortunately, HDMI appears to be the only input with 1080p... Find V1.3 if you can.
Here's some sets (various prices):
Sceptre 42" LCD HDTV 1080p
Sony Bravia 46" 1080P LCD HDTV
Sharp 1080P 52" LCD HDTV
Mitsubishi Diamond Series 1080P DLP HDTV
Mitsubishi review In fact, it's Cnet's Best Overall HDTV...
This is a good audio system at a reasonable price:

If you want a kick-ass audio system, and price isn't a factor:

Denon makes some of the best systems too, and DVD players.
