I bought a Samsung 40" LCD HDTV (HDTV built in!!!, not HDTV-ready which requires a decoder or whatever they are called), almost 4 months ago, and I love it, it got rave reviews from all the review webpages I looked at
It's this one:

The dynamic contrast ratio on my TV is 4000:1, there are several with much higher contrast ratio 6000:1 and beyond, but of course the price goes up by a lot, I paid a little over $2,100 for mine at Circuit City
When it comes to electronics, Samsung has become my new favorite company, it used to be Sony, but lately they've been manufactoring pretty shoddy products (PS2 x 3, Digital Camera x 1)
Anyway, it's a great TV and it has 2 HDMI inputs, so am ready to hook up my PS3 when it comes out
