Sony is reported to have good SD quality, so that would be my choice. Sony and Samsung have reported cases of backlight bleeding and cloudiness, so check your picture when you get it home and buy from a dealer who will accept returns for maybe 30 days.
Future Shop has a $100 credit on Starchoice receivers on a TV purchase, so that looks interesting but check other stores and don't be afraid to bargain on your TV purchase.
Here's some to look at

These are just my thoughts, so go to some stores and have a look at each TV. |
I'd just like to add Hitachi to the list of companies here. They recently came out with a few 47" LCD TV's; L47V651 & L47S601. I have the 42" version from them and it has nice HD picture, although it doesn't seem to handle SD upscaling as well as a few other brands.
