Best TV set for around £1000 mark?

Was originally looking at a Tosh rear projection, but I think I may be able to get a much better picture from a standard CRT for the same price. Ideally I want the screen as big as possible (don't we all!), and the other sets I have seen include the PF2 (36") and the top-end of the Tosh 'strata' series. The rear projection model I was looking at is the 42WT29B, is this any good? Thanks for any help,
