Help me with my purchase of an HDTV, please

Right now I’m looking to buy a new HDTV. I want it to be an LCD version with a 46” (117 cm) screen, and I want it to be able to stream video wirelessly from my PC. I have no problem buying an inexpensive dongle or similar hardware to connect it to my wireless network, if that is what it will take. I really don’t want to spend more than $1500 or so. Of course I want it to have a great picture too.

Can any of you suggest a good model, or at least point out features that I should be looking for and/or features to ignore in my purchase? I’ve been doing my own research already, but I’m finding it difficult to determine what features will suit me the best. I mostly watch movies on my TV, and I rarely watch TV otherwise. I'd like to take advantage of streaming video from Netflix or Blockbuster. Also, what is the minimum connection speed you should have to stream video without difficulty? My internet connection right now is 1.5 Mbps. Is that enough, or will it be too slow?
