Need TV upgrade suggestions

I currently have an RCA Scentium 61" dlp. I love the 61" size and the picture is great but the set has no hdmi connections and is bulkier than I would like, so I am looking to upgrade.

I know that members of this forum tend to insist on plasma TVs but I am also open to the newer LED's. I have some concerns with plasma TVs regarding energy usage, heat, reliability, and warranty. Specifically spider cracks developing in the screen in some Samsung units which are being denied under warranty. Can someone point me in the right direction for specific model numbers? Here are my general requirements:

Price: ~$2500 max
Size: 58" - 65"
3D not required
Wireless Internet Connection ok, but not absolutely required

I use DirectTV HD service and have an outside antenna. We watch general TV, some movies, football, and basketball. My Tuner and DVD player are wired for discrete SACD/DVD-A sound and would like to keep those even though they do not have hdmi.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
