I am wanting to buy an HD-LCD TV, and I'm wanting to know which brands (other than Sony) would be worth looking into? I trust Sony, and Sharp looks like they put out a pretty good product as well. What about LG TVs? If I am going to put in about $2000 on a TV, I won't something that is going to be worth every penny.

there are tons of user-review sites, use those a lot when making your decision.

I'll say this every time, you can't go wrong with Panasonic (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/parking-lot/13173-plasma-vs-lcd.html?highlight=Panasonic)!

Go out and kick tires man, you can get alot for less than 2 bones, or should I say be careful not to get a tv that's to big for the room size. Look at the delta from picture to picture that will tell the tale.
I have a sharp 42" hd-plasma, I bought at wally world for under 800 bucks, truely outstanding!

You can never go wrong with a Sony. I would advise that you buy a smaller Sony TV then a larger cheaper brand one, I believe you'll get more for your money that way. Quality over quantity.
Stick with the well known name brands. Panasonic, Sony, Sharp, Samsung, etc.

Costco, Sam's Club, Crutchfield, TigerDirect.com - 4 great places to look for TVs.
Sharp LC-42D62U 42" 1920x1080p 6ms 1200:1 Contrast Ratio HDMI ATSC LCD HDTV at TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2604783&CatId=2815) - not bad for a 1080p.
Just be careful with TigerDirect, as they do sell a lot of Refurbs. Refurbs aren't necessarily bad (just means it was a return that was fixed to factory specs), but it can be hit or miss with them.
Vizio has been getting a lot of mixed reviews...but they did develop a line for Wal-Mart that is doing well. My Dad has a 20 inch LCD that is been very good to him.
As far as LGs, I've seen some in action, and the picture has been great. Just dont know anything about their reliability.
One more point - if you are going to always be using a cable box or directv box, look into a HD Monitor. They may be a great screen for cheaper because they is no built-in tuner.

What he said. Consumer Reports said ALL of the above.
