Need A New TV Soon

I am dying for a new TV. I am one of those people who didn't have to worry about switching over to digital TV, because I had cable TV. In other words, my TV is really old. I just haven't had some extra cash to go get a new one. I have been look at the flat screens, and am not sure what kind of tv stand I would need. I probably would need one, because I don't have a good place on the wall or ceiling to put it.
