I'd like to purchase a large (~30"+) for gaming. However everything I see that's reasonably priced (<$1500) has response time of 8ms+. I currently have a 932bw+ and it's at 2ms, and great for gaming... but not big enough. SHould I be worried about the much higher times, trailing etc...?

nevermind its been responded too
Looks like 32" will be the size for you. At that size, do not worry about getting a 1080p set, unless you will be using the display very close to your face, like on a desktop.
I would simply look at the top rated 720p 32" HDTVs and buy one of those. I recommend the Samsung LN32A450. It is well regarded and going for a good price right now. It might even get cheaper during the holidays when 1080p HDTV pimping goes into full swing.
I would not worry about response time. Current consumer LCDs are plenty fast for gaming. If anything, there might be some input lag, but you probably won't even notice and it will not have any effect on your gaming.
The only lag you need to worry about really is latency in online games and everybody has that problem, regardless of their television.
