I can tell you Consumer Reports ranks the top 5 46" to 47" models as follows:
Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR5 MSRP $3600
.
Samsung LN-T4661F MSRP $2200
Samsung LN-T4671F MSRP $3200
Sony Bravia KDL-46W3000 MSRP $2500
Mitsubishi LT-46133 MSRP $2600[RIGHT]

I can tell you that for big-ticket items like an LCD TV, I have had great luck with buydig.com out of Edison, NJ. I've bought a 40" Sony Bravia and a 40" Samsung through them within the last year. No problems with either one and no BS from any salespeople, either. Street prices of the Samsungs are less than CU shows:
If you want the full 120hz refresh rate, go with the
LN-T4671F, for $2,089.
If you really need to keep it under $2k, go with the
LN-T4665F, for $1,849, but it has a lower refresh rate. Still a fine product, though.
