Plasma TV = canned heat!

I have a 4 year old toshiba 720p plasma set--no complaints about the picture quality, reliability, or features. Two issues to be aware of if you get a plasma set: The screen is highly reflective, so consider whether your placement of the set will result in lots of reflections on the screen (I run mine in a pretty dark room).

Also, plasma sets give off a LOT of heat. If your viewing room has good ventilation (or air conditioning in the summer), this won't be an issue for you. And they are HEAVY (my 42" set weighs over 100 lb).

Plasma sets have traditionally had blacker blacks and thus more shadow detail than LCD's--don't know if this is still this case. They don't blur when the picture has swift movement (which some LCD's do). They have a wider viewing angle than LCD's.
