Samsung LN-R268W 26-Inch HD-Ready Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV
Bright TV
Samsung TVs are the brightest in my experience.  It has a feature to make commercials not any more loud that the rest of the content.  It also has many view modes, including a zoom mode.  This is useful for different kinds of media sizes (e.g., DVD with widescreen feature vs regular TV).
