Had to get up at 0630 on a saturday and leave the house at 0645, but it was worth it. I came home with a Sharp 42" LCD tv (1080P, 6ms, 60hz is the downside) for all of $500 from Wal-Mart. They had a special event today and the store near me I found out had 12 of them in stock, so off I went. Started at 0800 and amazingly I was #3 in line. There were other higher profile deals to be had (xBox Arcade for $199 that came with a $100 gift card, HP Laptop for $258) that were getting all the attention, so I'm quite happy coming away with the tv for the price.
Now it's off to monoprice to order a wall mount for above the fireplace, and to figure out if I'm going to try to hide wiring in the wall or not.
Obligatory teaser pic attached! Please don't laugh at the ghettofied setup right now. It's just to get things working until the wall mount comes in and I figure out a way to make an extension for the fireplace mantle so the cable box doesn't hang off it all funny like.
