Those are pretty good resources, although some of the technical terms might lose people. Don't worry about 720p or 1080i (some people think 720 looks better, but it takes a careful eye and a really clean picture to tell the difference). As for the cost...well, you could always play limbo.com and get one for free! Seriously, though, I know that those cheaper models can also be tempting but with TVs sometimes it pays to go with a good name. Although it's hard to tell what a good name is sometimes. Had a Sony fizz out on my earlier in the year -- luckily still under warranty.
