My parents are in the market for an HDTV. And I want to know what some good ones are. I also plan on hooking up my computer to it. Any ideas? Something over 30" probably.
 
Just keep in mind the resolutions and formats. 480, 720, 1080, etc.
 
go for a dlp, samsung 42" i saw them for 2100$ and looked nice as hell. the sony lcd projection i saw for 2000.
 
CRT Rear Projection all the way. For under $2000 you can get a massive set with image quality that will destroy any DLP/LCD/Plasma in that price range.
 
37" westinghouse 1080p LCD - under 2000.00

i linked to best buy but this model can be had for less at other reputable on-line vendors.
westy's PQ lacks the clarity of sharp's similarly sized model but sharp's 37 incher is
priced at around 4000.00, which is simply a horrible price/performance difference. i have
no clue what the sharp people are thinking.

the westy is a great LCD which you can view in person to judge for yourself, assuming
there's a best buy store near you.
 
It looks nice but its HD-Ready... Should I be worried about that? Since I'll need outside stuff to bring the HD signal in?

Unless you plan on using an antennae and only being able to get 2 or 3 local stations broadcasting in HD, you will need an outboard box anyway. Most cable companies give you the HD decoder box for free and charge an extra $5 to $10 per month for HD service.
 
Get this years Hitachi CRT HDTV sets. They have AMAZING video quality. I own a 51" model, and even my friends with Plasma and LCD tvs are jealous.

QFT - CRT sets still have one up on LCD and Plasma sets, including the price.

You can usually find the 42" Samsung for $1800-$2000 at circuit city. There are suaully other places like boscovs and BB that have it for right at $1800 so you can just have circuit city match that. The 42" Sony LCD RPTV is the same deal as well.

You can also get a Panasonic 32" HD LCD for around $1600-$1800.
