Q. We would be putting up spread sheets and the like on the screen as well as power point presentations.
What features should I look for?
Brands and models would be appreciated. We are looking in the 47" or so range.

A. You totally need to be careful about getting caught up in hype over features that make watching TV or movies or such better. That's not going to be an issue for you. But can add significant cost. So you can ditch those things and save a tone of money.
So ignore 120Hz/240Hz rates. Great for sports, action movies, and gaming. Way overkill for your needs (and adds a lot of $). Ignore LED LCD. Again great for other types of uses, but way overkill for you (and huge expense). But do go with LCD. I think that's far better suited for the kind of corporate uses you talk about (a Plasma would be good if you were a TV production company only).
But I disagree with the other comment about 720p. I think you should go for 1080p to get full 1920x1080 resolution. Your LCD TV is just there to serve as a really large scale computer monitor really. So I would go with one with greater resolution incase you need it. If you want to tone down the resolution you can, but at least you have the option to do 1920x1080 if you want.
Definitely look out for VGA or DVI ports. That way its easy to hook up laptops to the TV. Most sets in that size range will have such, but just double check.
I would look to Samsung, Sony, Sharp, or LG at that size. I think you'll get a good option from any of them. They are all top tier brands. As for some example options,
Samsung LN46B530 - 46" CCFL LCD 1080p 60Hz - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN46B530-46-Inch-1080p-HDTV/dp/B001U3Y8OU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257205600&sr=8-4 - $1,074 Amazon
Sony KDL-46V5100 - 46" CCFL LCD 1080p 120Hz - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BRAVIA-KDL-46V5100-46-Inch-1080p/dp/B001T9N0EO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257205829&sr=1-1 - $1,099 Amazon (normally I wouldn't bother with the 120Hz, but Sony gives it to you here at a decent price)
Sharp Aquos LC46D65U - 46" CCFL LCD 1080p 60Hz - http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-Aquos-LC46D65U-46-Inch-1080p/dp/B001E8YQ1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257205920&sr=1-1 - $950 Amazon
All of those have VGA PC inputs. So you'd be in good shape. Any of those would serve you well. I kind of like the Sony option as it falls within a similar price range as the others but adds in the 120Hz. Again, while not necessary for your needs, it could be had for a decent price and so if you ended up showing something with some fast motion on it for some reason, it would be a bit better suited than the other choices.
Also use cnet.com to do your own review checks if you want.

How much is it for a knew screen on an LCD Sharp 46" TV?
Q. The screen on the tv is broken like cracked and different colors. Not an actual crack you can only tell when the tv is on. How much should this be?
A. You are not going to find a replacement part for your tv. Manufacturer will just replace the whole tv if it is covered under the factory warranty. Due to the cost of labor, if is not cost effective in replacing. Panasonic Plasma tv is the most reliable tv in the market and is still considered to have the best picture quality of all tv. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. If you read yahoo questions all the time, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD or LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Sharp is considered a bargain tv. Hope this will help you out.
