Regardless of what TV you folks end up with, I HIGHLY recommend getting the Video Essentials DVD to set up the picture. It works wonders.
Just looked for the "latest" and it is now called "Digital Video Essentials". Probably about 30 bucks here in Canada.
You spend thousands on a TV, and 97% or more of the time, the picture is set up wrong. It also helps you set up your surround sound as well.
