DIEDs in a pickle. our trusty 10 yr old panasonic 21-inch CRT tv developed a shakey screen and blacks out w/ annoying frequency.......all just before superbowl sunday..as if it was rigged this way

i dont know crap about the new technology, but realize we need to be ready for digital signal in the next year....that said......here here, i am calling out to electronic savvy pondmeisters.....what do you recommend i buy given the following limitations.....

"flat" screen size in the 30-36" range,

budget hopefully less than 1000 (God that's painful to think about considering our last one cost about a 100)...

but i am open to why i should have a plasma? a LCD?.......any advice is greatly appreciated......if you provide compelling advice as to why i should spend 1200-1500 or something lets hear it.

anybody who's bought one recently, or simply knows what a good deal is, PLEASE HELP OLD DIED.......
thanks in advance..

edited post....i'll probably leave to go buy something around noon (PST) tomorrow, hopefully w/ some direction
