Get yourself a nice big sony widescreen and save yourself some dosh, thats what I say.

Ever got up close to an lcd or plasma screen?.they look bleedin awful, all you're paying for at the mo' is aesthetics!
Also, try getting a salesman to demo a piece of fast action TV...it wont happen if they can help it. Theyll play you a clip form a Movie that wont have fast panning shots or fast action. Also that will bypass the broadcast limitations of todays signals...

Re: LCD or Plasma?
I went through the same queries when I landed in March and ended up with a HD 50 inch pioneer plasma. Thought the rear projection picture quality was inferior to the other two. The LCD's didnt really go up to the screen size I was after so that left the plasma. If the LCD's did go up to 50 inch and the price was similar I would have probably gone LCD.
But I am very happy with the plasma at the moment it was also helped by the free install and a 5 year warranty.

Get a 100 Hz telly until the Plasma and LCD have moved onto the next generation.
The only deciding factor should be space. If you don't have much space, but a lot of cash, get your LCD/Plasma.
