My business installs and integrates electronics including most types of displays to the corporate markets i.e.: digital signage, classrooms, briefing centers, houses of worship, etc. As such I get to see quite a few brands, models and technologies in real life. We don't sell consumer models, but I do have some general thoughts.
Plasma has an inherent burn-in issue. I'm sure they've improved, but I've witnessed burn-in results. I have a friend whose child watched the TV channel Noggin, probably too much and as a result the Noggin logo is visible on other channels. It doesn't take that long, probably a day would cause burn-in.
I'm watching the Falcon's game on DLP as I write. Good picture, but LCD and Plasma are better.
LCD is getting less and less expensive, larger sizes are supposedly coming.
One of the best pictures I have seen is the relativly new SXRD technology from Sony. To my knowledge its the highest resolution available. I would suggest taking a look.
1080i and other variations may not be pervasive today, but they will be here soon. DVD's are beginning to come out in HD.
Hope this helps,
Mac
