I am looking to upgrade my 32" Bravia to a new set. I am looking for a decent size set 42" or higher and must have at a minimum 60hrz refresh rate and 2 HDMI ports at 1.3 or higher. A PC input would be nice but not a deal breaker and the set must be a name brand i.e. LG, Sony, Samsung, Pioneer, Phillips or something like that. NO Sanyo, Westinghouse or like wise brands please. Also no refurbished models please.
I don't have a Cost Co or Sam's Club membership so I would prefer a chain like Future Shop, Best Buy or something like that

Samsung 46" A500 - $1099 (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0770HDS0010112397&catid=)
Sharp 42" LC42D65 - $999 (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0770HDS0010109985&catid=)
The sharp has 5 HDMI ports. That's cwazzzzy.
I know... it's LG.. but for $829 it's not bad.

Thanks for the links, the LG is 720p which is what I have now. Looking for something a bit better. Also if you have a set for sale send me the link as well ;)
