Trust me, if I wasn't so challenged when it comes to home entertainment, I wouldn't ask but since it's a substantial purchase (for me) I should at least get some opinions from you guys.

I currently have a 56" rear projection and want to upgrade. Ideally, I'd find a 60" or bigger LCD or Plasma and wall mount it to increase my viewing distance from 10' to 12'.

Here's the problem. I initially saved up about $7000 for a 60 or 65" and HD box but lost my job for 6 months and had to dig into my TV savings fund. I'm back at work now but I'm down to about half of that and since then, the prices have dropped a bit.

Is there anything I can find in the sub $3000(tax in) range that will be decent and last 5+ years? I'm guessing a new HD PVR + mounting bracket and cables will run me another $700-$800.

Thanks for any help.
