Looking for new TV under $2K

I'm hoping I can get a little help here. I have started
looking around for a new TV. I was looking at something
in the 40-46" range with a max budget of $2k. I was planning
on going with a projection unit from either Sony or Mistubishi
but I'm so bewildered with the choices out there that its
a bit confusing. Does anyone have a strong recommendation in this size and price range? I am very open to suggestions.

Cheers

PS
Anyone know of a good site for TV reviews?

CRT is still the best picture and the 40" Sony KV-40xbr800 is about $2K. There is NO projection TV on the market that can beat this set in PQ and correct blacks. You have to spend double to get a projection set that even compares like the Samsung DLPs and they still don't get it quite as right.

"Cmach":

I second "Lincoln30's" opinion. If you want the best picture that you can afford, CRT is still the way to go. If you want something that is about 40" or bigger, Sony is about your one and only option here. The thing is, that if you decide to go with a CRT set, 40" is about as big a set as you will find. Anything bigger than that, then you will have to start looking at a projection set. And in terms of picture quality and a set's ability to hold a true black in relation to price, a CRT set is STILL the best deal in town. Plasmas come awfully close, but at prices starting at $4K+, plasmas are a little too rich for my blood, and they aren't coming down in price any time soon.
