If you were seriously considering a plasma display, why not a front projector and screen? These days a decent DLP projector and screen can be had for less than a plama display (which start at about $10,000). If this is too much money, however, and you want a smaller display, I wouldn't rule out the Toshiba 16:9 40" rear projection TV. The picture is excellent, almost as good as a direct view, and with a Toshiba 5200 DVD player, you'll get good progressive scan which significantly improves non-anamorphic DVDs. The Toshiba is not as deep as any of the 32", 34", and 36" direct views, and can be had for $2000. This is one of the best displays on the market, and the size is about right for a small room. Good luck!
