I am going to upgrade my home theater soon and would like to hear about what is available in 16:9 65 Inch or so sets. I have a 50 IN 4:3 Mitsubishi now. I have been looking or reading about Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and Hitachi models. It looks like the set will be about $3,500 based on a shopping trip to two local Home Theater stores. I can go local or etailer. The Mitubishi dealer recommends a Platinum Plus WS-65819 and a competing store that has almost all brands except Mits recommends a Hitachi 61UWX10B for the same price. I have read about the new Toshiba Cinema Series and the 65HX81 looks like a good competitor.
I watch mostly DVDs (SD-6200 DVD Player) and Directv. The Mits dealer recommended waiting on buying the HD receiver until the next generation is available - something about the ongoing copy protections schemes.
