It's rather unfortunate, but plasmas tend to buzz when you get them to an altitude of 6000 - 6500 feet above sea level.

You might want to look at a DLP set. They are priced slightly higher than LCD, but have better blacks and better off-axis viewing (about equal to CRT).

A CRT display will get you better blacks than either DLP or LCD, but you are subject to hot spotting and convergence issues.
