Looking for new TV under $2K

I'm hoping I can get a little help here. I have started
looking around for a new TV. I was looking at something
in the 40-46" range with a max budget of $2k. I was planning
on going with a projection unit from either Sony or Mistubishi
but I'm so bewildered with the choices out there that its
a bit confusing. Does anyone have a strong recommendation in this size and price range? I am very open to suggestions.

Cheers

PS
Anyone know of a good site for TV reviews?

I agree with Chaskelljr2001 about the CRT. Sony TV's have great pictures, and I own two, but I have had miserable luck with the sound crapping out on two out of four Sony TV's I have owned, including my top-of-the-line 32" XBR circa 1999. For this reason, I'll be looking to other brands when it comes time to buy another TV. Panasonic and Toshiba would be high on my list if I were in the market today.

Why get a 4:3 screen these days with HDTV? I would never buy the 40" Sony

The replacement for the Sony xbr910 should be out next month.--The 910 is the best crt set on the market. The new one is supposed to be much better; at the same price of 2200.
While being a touch smaller than the 40 incher; once you see the pq; anything else; is a whole lot less. A videophile's dream----compaired to these plasma/lcd/dlp black level/shadow detail, challeged sets that are all the rage.

Thanks for all your responses. I really appreciate the
help.Ellery911 I have already registered at avsforum.
Great site by the way. I'm still doing my research
but have been favorably impressed with the Sony
46" projection TV. It seem's to offer a lot of bang
for the buck but I will look at the Sony CRT as well.

Thanks again

I just bought a Mits 65413 for $1,800. For the money, VERY hard to beat.
