Not much less than $1000/TV, but here are three I like personally:
Sony KDL46EX640
Sony KDL46EX645
LG 42LM62AGF210
The biggest issue is the amount of HDMI ports, most TV's less than a grand have only two or, if your lucky, three. |

Thanks I should have mentioned it in my OP, however I would like to keep under $700. I really need at least 3 HDMI ports if possible. |

Those are about the closet I can find, other than the Samsung UN40ES6100 ($800, but only has 3 HDMI). The LG is going to be the closest price-wise, at around $800. |

I bought this one in Dec 2011, it's been an awesome TV, best picture I've seen for the money. I paid $680 no tax free shipping from NewEgg. Not sure were to find one now, should be something similar available.

get an HDMI remote controlled switch for less then you would pay to have a set with more HDMI inputs. |

If you can use one just a little larger I bought a 47" LG (47LG4600) at Sam's yesterday for $678. Really nice picture with a small bezel but only 3 HDMI. They also had a 42" Sony which looked great for between 550 and 600. Didn't look at number of ports. (hint -- if you don't like shopping at Sam's then check the price on Amazon for the LG!) |

Thanks everyone. Some good suggestions. robbin - I have a Sam's pretty close to me. I'll take a look at the Sony. Sounds interesting. Thanks. |

robbin: How is the sound on the LG from the onboard speakers? It may be a while before I can get an external system. Thanks. |

I bought the set primarily because I thought it had the best picture of the sets of that size. I haven't had time to actually sit down and watch and listen to a movie (maybe tomorrow). With a TV as thin as the LG is I would never expect much of the sound (I'll try to post back in a few days as to my experience). I'll probably end up using a sound bar with mine. The location I am installing it in does not lend itself to a complete sound system. One thing, I think it only has netflix on Internet. I didn't want or need a bunch of apps as I will have it connected to a HTPC through an extender (probably the new Ceton Echo possibly due out in November). |

I checked at Sam's. The Sony 42" is $548, however, it only has 2 HDMI ports. I need at least 3. Thanks for the info on the LG, however, that will be too large. I'll keep up the hunt. |

Thanks for the suggestion, however I decided to stay away from Vizio for I had one once and it made strange sounds. Turned out is was a known issue with it. |
