Costco - Samsung 55" Class 1080p LED HDTV

Based on your requirements, I would pick this one up at Costco if you have one nearby. You could also have it shipped for $99. Costco is just so darn easy to business with. Return in it under 90 days for money back or exchange for something else if you don't like it.

Costco extends the warranty to 2 years at no extra charge. Also, if you purchase with Amex, Amex will add another year to make it 3. (You will need to fax in the receipt or something to Amex, just call them to confirm.)
