I was looking at the Wega's when I was shopping around for my TV, but found them to be way overpriced (Sony, go figure) and didn't really look that great for the money.
My 36" Toshiba looked much better, and was hundreds less. It also has Component Video inputs for the best picture quality from DVD (step above S-Video), and I recommend that - awesome crisp quality video if your DVD player has Component Video outputs!
Don't forget the fiber-optic sound connection, and Dolby Digital and 5.1 surround sound!
Oh, I can't wait 'til October 9th...!
