I have a home theatre which has served me well. I am actually shopping for a TV. My CRT kinda gave up today and with the kids having closed school, the foul weather limiting outdoor activities...i need one ASAP
Even a BrOKeN clock is right twice a day

For high end sets ...
HDMI ARC...Audio Return Channel ...check if the set you want has it (in addition to DVI,MHL and STB ..sometimes they are combined/supported into one or two ports) cause its very important for integrating to a Home theatre and many manufacturers (looking at you Samsung) take advantage of user ignorance to leave the port out.
I discovered this recently with my TV to my extreme annoyance.

Here's a checklist you could use:

1. Full HD (i.e., 1920*1080p) Ignore anything that says 'HD ready'

2. Inputs - the telly needs multiple inputs, HDMI, USB and DVI being the most important. You can also include AV inputs for backward compatibility (those red/yellow/white wires). Look for a TV with at least two of each (2 HDMI, 2 USB, etc.)

3. Smart capabilities - A unique feature, but not absolutely necessary. These days you can get a small USB device that adds smart capabilities to a 'dumb' TV. Smart TVs are usually 10-20K higher in price btw. It can also be difficult to update Smart TVs.

4. Connectivity - Aim for something that is WiFi enabled and has a LAN port.

Finally, you have to think about whether you have/will get a home theatre system. It may seem like an expense, but it adds to the viewing experience. All modern TVs are slim, which means they don't have very good speakers.
