Miscreant rips HDTV; need new one: FML

In a nutshell, a burglar ripped off my 32" Westinghouse LCD/DVD HDTV on Monday, so I need to purchase a replacement. I know it was only a Westinghouse brand (lol); but, it was a gift from my mother. I would like to get something 120hz between 37"-46" for no more than $800, a tall order I know.

So, what is everyone looking at at this time of the year? I have yet to research the net due to a lack of time. Was thinking a few Aziners could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

I'm sure you can find your requirements pretty easy, as 120hz and 37-46 is pretty attainable for around 800

I was looking at a couple of TVs the other day for a friend, and there are tons of options for 120hz LCDs in those sizes in that price range right now. You can get a Samsung LN40C630 or LN40C550 for about $700 from either hhgregg or Amazon (free shipping and no tax). Both are 40", 120hz, 1080p, and have tons of inputs. You can snag the equivalent 46" versions for $900 (change the 40 in the part number to 46).

I'd suggest an alarm system or better locks (deadbolts) first than a new tv.

TV:

lol. As we all know, miscreants are at all socio-economic levels. Lets just say upper middle class, or whats left of it.
