Thanks....I am not ruling out plasmas. I just was concerned because it seems like no one is making them anymore except Panasonic and Pioneer, and I figured it was dying out as a format. Then I figured "why is it dying out?" "were there issues with them? Is LCD better?" Etc

We bought a Panasonic 50" plasma last summer, and couldnt be happier. Plasma still has the lead in picture quality. Even standard def. DVDs look great.
They are more expensive to manufature. - Harmonia 12:52:24 07/21/08 (0)
Very tricky to make the glass. But they're not particularly more prone to ills and failures than the LCDs.

For quality of image plasmas would be my first choice. The only LCDs I could get enthusiastic about might be the Sonys. The rest don't have black enough blacks or good enough shadow detail for me. (They're getting better, but Sony is getting better faster.)

If you're sitting 11 ft away you need a 52 incher at minimum. If you're gonna pop for an HD display don't weeny out. 46 is smaller than you think unless you only watch talking heads on CNN.

I will second the Panny plasmas, great value for the $$.
