Panasonic PT40LC12 40" 16:9 Widescreen Projection LCD Display
See it in person first
I was considering purchasing this TV, but instead went with the 50\\" Sony LCD projection.  The difference is striking - it's in the contrast.<br />Before buying this TV, make sure you see it in person, preferably next to other TVs (either regular CRTs or even the Sony LCD).  It's very apparent that this TV does not have good contrast - everything looks faded compared to a regular television.  The blacks aren't very black... they're just darkish grey.<br />If this is okay for you, after a while you probably won't even notice.  When you see it next to other TVs, or if you start to notice it after owning it, it will probably drive you crazy though.  Sony put a lot of work into getting better black tones out of their LCDs... Panasonic didn't, it seems.  It's kind of unfortunate, because the Panasonic is at a very attractive price for the technology.  If you're willing to spend a little more but still want a lightweight TV, you might want to also consider the DLP-based sets, which are coming down in price.
