I have a 32" Toshiba, 60hz, 720P LCD, its great. Standard def(coax straight out of the wall) looks kind of shitty but I got used to it(120hz/240hz do alot better I hear), im sure it looks fine hooked up to a digital or HD box. Have an upconverting DVD player and it looks amazing, same with Xbox 360. It has better speakers than the LG and Samsung I looked at, they are front firing instead of down firing. The interface is nice and fast(input selecting etc..) Has some cool features like Favorite channels, channel history, 1/2 mute, DVD controls that actually work, Picture freeze, Picture Size(4:3, 16:9, theatre wide etc for any incoming signal).

Couple annoying things, the viewing angle isnt the best but its not bad either, The bezel is really shiny and attracts dust(but I think all TV's do) The screen stays really clean though. When it first starts up the color is a bit dim because the backlight has to warm up, only lasts about 20 seconds, not sure if other LCD's do that.

Quite honestly, I would go Plasma. Parents have a 50" LG Plasma, 720P, has flat pane of glass that covers the whole screen/bezel.. looks amazing, it was $899 around New years.
