Alright, so im getting an HD TV next week, and i can't afford a whole lot.

My box TV is dieing fast, now down to about 3/4ths of its picture remaining.

So im forced to result to my little 10'' inch vacation TV for now until i get the HD.

I'm new to the world of HD, so what do brand/model should i get?

Max spending limit: $550, my mom is paying for half. (early x-mas gift.).

Possible complications:
Cable Service Provider: Verizon FIOS
Set Top Box: Standard, may have to get an HD box.
