my advice 4 u is to get either
Sony V series 40 inch 1350 $
or Sony W series 40 inch 1650 $
both are full hd, but the W has the live color creation.
but either way they are gr8 LCd Tv's for ur budget.
i would recommended to u , specially that u wana get a PS3.
i have a Sony V series the one that used to have live color creation . and Its just great. i have seen many Lcd's but playin Ps3 on Sony bravia's lcds is just way better.
dont even think about Sharp unless u wanna pay alot.
LG is not good and all those cheap brands simply suck.
the only that matches Sony in this budget is Samsung, but still sony is better.
the best i have seen is Philips and Pioneer but that if u wanna pay 6000$
