After one month of fairly intensive research, I finally settled on a brand (Samsung) and a few series within it: 6, 7, 8, and 9 series.  It boiled down to price, brick & mortar store confidence, and three years no payment/no interest.  We ended up purchasing the Samsung LN46A650.  I was torn between purchasing on Amazon (which has the best prices around) or spending a little more (e.g. tax, store prices, etc.) at an electronic box store.  Though Amazon was cheaper consistently, and it did have the LN46A750 for approximately $1500.00 with 24 months no payment/no interest, the Bestbuy deal was too good and convenient to pass up.  For $2,000.00 (tax included) we got the TV, two HDMI 1.3 cables, 4 year warranty, delivery, and installation.  Bestbuy ran a good sale price of $1,449.00, which is as cheap as Amazon one week ago.  Not only that, but with our current Bestbuy credit card (we didn't apply for a new card), we got 36 months/3 years of deffered payment/interest.  We're setting up our account to pay off the balance $58.00/month, which is rather cheap (and interest free!).

The TV is being delivered on Friday (01/23/09), and the Geek Squad is installing the TV on Saturday (01/24/09).  After it is installed, I get my HD DVR from Cox, and watch a few Bluray movies on my PS3, I'll let everyone know how kick-butt it is.
