Originally was going for a cheap Visio 32in, but have decided to go bigger. Anything from 37-50 will work. Budget is $1500. Don't really need all those fancy internet programs and all that. Don't want that blur effect during videogames, so I'm guessing I need something with a high refresh rate and low input lag? Also would be cool if I could plug in my flashdrive or harddrive directly to the tv and play movies on it. Picture in picture would be nice as well. I'm also assuming I need a soundbar for good audio?
I have the older model of this and love it. Well within your budget and gives a bunch of bonuses in terms of USB ports, internet apps, and more. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN46D6300-46-Inch-1080p-Black/dp/B004O7A7PI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
I don't know how helpful this is but I found this link with a whole bunch of 50-55in tvs most in your budget http://reviews.cnet.com/best-50-55-inch-hdtvs/
I've had the same urge for a while although everytime I go to actually buy one I start looking at projectors instead and then don't buy anything because as much as I like the idea I probably couldn't set it up in a good way. Probably I'll just wait until my current TV dies knowing me, I think Samsung and LG are the two best brands at the minute but there are so many models you really need to read individual reviews.
