I went to Ultimate with my mom and she ended up getting a JVC 42" 720p LCD.

I know it's not 1080p and all, but side by side, it looked better than most everything but the plasmas. Plus it was $900. The 40" was $1200, so I told her to pull the trigger. I hooked up my HDA3 and was thoroughly impressed. Looks great. OTA is another story, though, esp SD. I imagine that will improve ten fold by moving the receiver into the same room.

As for the furnature, the entertainment center is on craigslist. The TV is in the parents' bedroom till they get a new stand. Surprisingly, some of the stuff at walmart is really well built and pretty nice looking. I think that's where its coming from. At least if I get my way...

I'm trying to get them to let me set up a real mild HT up there using a spare Yamaha receiver I have and my mom's bose and JBL speakers.
