I'm looking for a 40-46" 1080p TV, don't care about 3D, smart stuff is optional but cool (willing to get a Roku or something instead though). Mostly HD TV, sports, blu-ray, netflix, Pandora, etc. General usage. I have Sony receiver/bluray player so Sony is a plus, even though my Bravia just died after slightly over 3 years of use so I'm bitter and vengeful toward it. Low energy usage/"green" stuff is a plus. I have a wifi access point right next to it so built-in wifi isn't necessary. I dig the features from the Panasonic linked in the first couple of posts, the TC-P50ST50, but I don't need anything that big. My old one was 40 and that was plenty as I have a small living room, though I'd bump up a bit if I can afford to.

Thanks goons!

So, update on my dead TV from above. Old one was a Sony Bravia 40", three years old, up and died and Sony no longer manufactures the main board for it so it's kaput. They offered me a recertified version of the same model for $329 including tax and shipping. I have the option of getting a new 42" Bravia for $588 from Amazon after tax, or finding another brand, or whatever. Plus then buying a Roku - but that might be a better option than continuing to use smart TV features anyway.

Any thoughts on recertified/refurbished Sony stuff vs new? And Sony vs other brands?
