If you're not too particular on it being 1080p or 42", I'd go with a smaller 36" TV with 720p. HDTV isn't broadcast in 1080 and PS3 and Xbox 360 look really good over 720.
Most 720s can reach 1080i, which has, of course, a noticeable rate of pixel increase. The only drawback for PS3 is that you have to switch back to 720p if you want to play PS1/2 games.
Blu-Rays at 1080 resolution look really nice as well at 720, and with the large amount of crappy transfers, 720 actually really helps with grain problems (I wouldn't even want to imagine Fifth Element Blu-Ray on a 1080 screen).
The best part is I've seen decent 36" panels at electronics stores for $550 (MicroCenter).
Aside from that, I don't think what you mentioned above is greedy, you'll just have to deal hunt like no one's business.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
