I love to find a TV that can run Silverlight applications.

Like Ben says on most TV's it's limited, though in a review I read that
the more expensive Philips did have free browsing, though I seem to
remember entering url's was a bit of a hassle without a keyboard.

 Most TVs with Ethernet or wireless do *NOT* support arbitrary web
browsing.  While much of what they do is browser-based, it's all
locked up inside a proprietary framework you can't modify.  So a given
TV might do Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, and YouTube, but it won't be able
to do anything else (unless the mfg updates the firmware).

 The notable exception I'm aware of are the "Google TV" TVs.  Sony
makes some, but the sizes are limited.

 This is likely to change in the future, but it's not here yet.
