Default Re: Want a new (HD)TV, Budget = $1,500-2,000

Lastly, FWIW I got a Sony KDFE42A10 RPLCD a couple weeks ago. Brief review:
HD - No complaints. Looks fantastic.
SD - (DirecTV) some things look awful, like golf. But most programs range somewhere between decent and very good. I came from a 27" Wega non-hd crt which had a tremendous picture, so I had high standards. Black levels are not very good and shadow detail is weak, but I'm getting used to it.
DVD - I have a non-progressive, non-upconverting dvd player, so the tv is doing the upconverting/deinterlacing. 24 is really all I've watched so far. It doesn't look as good as HD stuff, but it looks far better than SD programming. In other words, it's very good. Would possibly be even better with a better DVD player. Black level issues are present but less noticeable than SD tv stuff.

I'm now considering this model. How do you find the viewing angle?

Viewing angle is great. I got the TV for $1800 from Sears, and I love it. Have used it for SD (decent), HDTV (antenna-based), Xbox, and DVD (progressive scan, no upconverting). It's really a great TV.
