It's the best bang for buck TV in large screen sizes.
I got an HL61A750, 61 inches with an LED light engine for $1450, delivered.

Although I do think the new LCD sets are better looking, particularly the LED backlit ones, they are like $4000 for a comparable size.

You can get a large LCD set for cheaper, but then they are not as good looking as the DLP. Eventually, I'll get a cutting edge TV, like an OLED set, but this one should last me the 5 years it will take for OLED sets to get affordable. (or whatever else is the hot new TV in 2014)
I will say though, looking at the new and old sets side by side, with DirecTV HD, the old one looks almost as good as the new one. I have not compared them with Blu-Ray yet, so I'm hoping that will be a bigger difference.
I got the new TV on Tuesday. I lose the old TV on Sunday, but I'm camping till Saturday, so I may not have time to get anything built right away. I'm still leaning towards ddlooping's idea, although I may modify it slightly to be able to adjust the height and angle of the speaker.
