TV for viewing HDV

I'm looking for a flat screen for a living room, away from the editing computer, for (1)viewing 1080i HDV and for (2)looking at SD DVD's and also for (3)displaying a laptop from a VGA connection. so far the best quality HDV I've been able to get is playing an m2t file from my editing computer onto a 24" computer monitor (Dell). this looks better than playing an HDV tape of the same thing via component into the same monitor.
but looking for a TV I was really disappointed - took the camcorder to a store and played via component into a number of current LCD's, both 720p and 1080p, and they all showed obvious artifacting. would HDV look better played from a computer than from tape? how about deinterlacing - would that help?
this program I've been testing was projected in a commercial theater with a huge screen and looked stunning - I'm hoping to be able to get a decent picture on a much smaller scale (like 40 inches or so).

Were you sure your component output was set to 1080i vice 480i? in the playback menu you have the choice to playback HDV as 480i
