Can you guys recommend me a good TV?

Hey

My Sony KV-28HX15U is driving me loco. I don`t enjoy looking at the picture anymore, instead I wait for the screen to go blue and focus on the red outline while I wait.

After Littlewoods sending the set back without really helping the problem, I`m going to try and get a replacement, only problem being that I can`t have a direct replacement anymore!

I don`t know anything about newer TVs. I only started using RGB cables last year when I finally moved from my 21" Beko, something which 99% of people have been doing many years before.!

Anyway... could you guys give me some advice about which TV to buy? I`m thinking about these ones...

1) Sony KDL-32S010U LCD
I rate Sony TVs highly. I know that my current TV offers excellent picture via RGB on the PS2/GC/DVD player. I`m hoping this TV offers the same excellent RGB support AND is good for HD.

2) Sony KDFE50A12U LCD rear projection
Let get this straight... 50", some excellent reviews, and it costs as much as the 32" TV above!? I must be missing something here. Would it be right for a PS2/GC gamer like me?

3) Panasonic TX32LXD60 LCD
I think this is the very same TV that the reviewers at animeondvd.com use, yeah? If so, I`m thinking this TV might just be good for me. The only worry I have is if it supports RGB as good as Sony TVs do...I`ve never used Panasonic before.

4) Samsung LE32R74BDX LCD
I feel fairly mixed about this TV. I`m sure it`ll be good for HD later this year, especially for the price it costs. But like I said above, I want something that`s both good for the future and good for using older consoles with, and with Samsung sets are said to have terrible RGB support...

If it helps at all, I only really want to use my TV for gaming and DVDs.

Thanks,

Dan

Of the 3 LCD TVs, I would go with the Panny...however
I would be inclined to go with the Rear Projection set if you have the room. It`s spec is awesome and I think you`d be very impressed.

This is what I found about it online:
