The Sony KDL40W2000 40" HD Ready 1080p digital LCD TV is a little more and has won awards. I mention it because I was weighing it up against the Toshy and went for the Sony. They're both old models now which is why they're more affordable.

You should probably also consider a Panasonic - they seem to win awards from the magazines fairly consistently, usually beating Sony.

Yes, depending how far you sit from the screen the 37PX70 may well provide a better picture.

I wouldn't go for a Bravia w2000 I hear it has clouding problems.Infact most Bravia TV's are a little disappointing.

Panasonic are usually pretty good with but HD and SD footage.My Panasonic 26" is really good when it comes to SD.
Here is the TV I'd choose if I had to buy one today.(although I'm not sure I like the design of the panasonic.heh)

I've had the Toshiba 37X3030D since August last year. I cant recommend it enough. I use my PS3 on it to play games and watch Blu-ray movies. Havent had any problems with it. The pictures it produces are great.

Do some research before you take the plunge though. Look through some reviews on-line. Overall I've found this TV gets positive reviews. Nice price for a 1080p TV aswell.
