Best big flat screen under 4k


I am installing a flatscreen TV for my living room downstairs. I have a budget of $3500-$4000 and i am looking at somthing in the range of 42" plus or minus. Any Ideas.

Thanks

Dont know if in addition to "flat panel" you also meant 16:9 and HD compatible, but I, too, would be interested to know the best bargain in that category for a space saving solution in the bedroom.

I am told that prices have been dropping rapidly on the plasmas so there should be some bargains around.
Eric,

I've been hearing good things about the Samsung 43" and 50 " flat screen DLP projection TVs as well.

At a street price between $2950-$3500 and with a depth of only 16" and weighing only 68-80lbs each, they seem like real contenders without some of the negatives of LCDs or plasmas.

Have a look:

How reliable are these new DLP projector units? If you are to spend close to 4K, I would look into them. The Samsung DLPs look exciting, but I would get some sort of warranty. Still a new technology with some glitches.
Gunbei, do you know anything about the longevity of these units?
