Fyi- no need to spend the extra money for 1080p on a screen that small. Vizio makes some decent LCD screens that would definitely be in your price range. Check out Costco.

Vizio is not made by Samsung, but they do purchase the panels from different manfacturers and Samsung may be one, although I don't know for sure.  The Vizio plasma I previously owned had a panel made by LG.

Scott, ecost.com runs specials all the time on factory refurbed Westinghouse LCDs.  My boss just bought a 46" refurb for well under a grand and is pretty happy with it.

Here's a couple that popped up -

if she will mostly be watching SD tv/DVD and the odd HDTV content I would look at the Panny plasmas, they have one of the better scalars

Saw this at fatwallet and thought of this thread.  Don't know anything about HDTV (I'm stuck with SD)

Don't know about that model in particular, but Hitachis are reviewed very well.  That's a GREAT deal right there.
