TV Help

[Dug]

Hey perfect timing for this thread. I have recently moved into my new house and am looking for a new tv. I know nothing about tvs , but this thread is helping. My present tv is a 36" Sony, I believe it must be a "tube" type because it is heavy as hell and the depth is prolly 20". I only like SOny stuff , can someone steer me in the right direction . This is what i have.
Will be mounted in entertainment center built in wall , depth has to be less than 24".
The room is wired for surround sound.
The room is basically 20' x 28' , multiple couches.
The tv needs to be seen from quite a few angles . (if possible)
I am looking for dependability , doesnt have to be the latest techy model.
Pricing is definetly a factor , no more than a few thousand.
Any suggestions?

Thanks , doug
