I use to work in an electronic store, in specific the Home Theatre area. If you want to mount it on the wall get a plasma over a lcd, better colors, better contrast, smoother picture, and larger size for the money. Pioneer and LG are my top two, Pioneer is the best out there right now. If you don't a rear projection DLP, Samsungs and Mitsubishi's in particular are very nice. If this is going to be your all around tv and then look in to the extended warranty on the DLPs, but only if they cover the light bulb. If this is going to be a dedicated movie watcher don't worry as much. For some people front projection works, but only if you can totally darken the room, most screens and even worse wall paint will amplify any light in the room. There are some black and gray screens out there which won't kill the contrast but they are usually more expensive than the projector. Before a tv catches your eye remember, brightness is useless, even the darkest tv it the store will need to be turned down in your home. Contrast numbers are usless also, there are no standardized units are measurements. Look at the peoples faces in the picture, do they look like a normal person on tv or do they look like they spent the winter in Wisconsin (pale). On a picture with things actually going on how dark is the black, the darker the better. This will be your contrast, the thing that makes things look like they are in the foreground, mid-ground or background. And smoothness is still better than sharpness, when looking at the picture see if smooth curves are exactly that or do they look like steps(biggest problems with lcds IMO). As I said I USED to work at a electronics store, no longer so I'm not trying to sell you anything, just giving you the heads up.
