I'm thinking of grabbing this despite reports that it interferes with some cable boxes. Newegg is great with returns. TOSHIBA 46" 16:9 8ms 1080p LCD HDTV 46RV525U - $799 shipped - 2% Bing CB
But for a bit more you could get the 120hz version with this CR review.

Reviews & Recommended - Toshiba REGZA 46XV645U
CR's Take
This 46-inch 1080p LCD from Toshiba delivers a lot for the money, making it a CR Best Buy. Picture quality was excellent, though viewing angle was somewhat limited. The set includes Toshiba's ClearFrame 120Hz technology. Its 40-inch sibling was also reviewed, and performed similarly.
HighsExcellent HD and standard-definition picture quality. It did an excellent job displaying the finest detail in top-quality HD content. Color accuracy was very good. Contrast was good, typical for most models we've tested. Brightness level was good, suitable for most rooms. Excellent, smooth reproduction of scenes with subtly shaded light-to-dark areas, such as a sky during sunset. Excellent film-mode operation (3:2 pulldown) effectively eliminated jagged edges -- "jaggies" -- on our 1080i HD and 480i SD movie content. Our 1080i HD video clip with motion detail (de-interlacing test) looked very good with just a hint of visible jaggies. Has Toshiba's ClearFrame technology that doubles the TV's frame rate -- we found it effectively reduced, but did not eliminate, motion blur. Sound was good, fine for typical TV programming.
LowsWe were able to optimize color only after we fine-tuned the individual RGB (red/green/blue) color controls in the advanced menu, a more complex process. Viewing angle was somewhat limited -- the picture lost some color, contrast, or brightness as we moved off from dead center. Sound's midrange and treble were uneven.
