New TV Time; Suggestions?

[HES]

Well I have cut through my 2nd bulb on my 55" DLP Samsung in as many months. "She Who Shall Be Obeyed" has authorized the purchase of a new TV in lieu of me choking the 11 year old wanna be professional X-box champ for burning out the bulb (it blew both times while he was playing).

My budget is about $2000.00. So that kinda rules out anything 3D I guess. Looking for something about 55" or so. Was intrigued by the LED LCD TVs. However nothing is set in stone.

So I come to you my brothers. You have demonstrated your discerning tastes before and I seek your guidance.
