I was in the same boat and ended up getting a 34" wide screen Sony TV (KD-34XBR960). It supports 1080i component video. Most of the LCD/Plasma units only support up to 720p. The other nice thing about the Sony is it has a 1394 interface. So you can directly connect the HDV camcorder via 1394. The picture is great. The monitor is a little big and heavy, but I still think the 50 year old, old school CRT still looks better than any LCD/Plasma/computer monitor. They cost less than $2000 USB. Good luck
