I also have a 50" LG plasma --- In living room with large windows, on very sunny days blinds have to be closed a little --- if you watch sports or any fast moving shows like car racing --- Plasma is the way to go you get no blur with fast action.

Ya I know, that's what is holding me back a bit. They will come down in price eventually, but when. The CO-OP in Freddy has a 52" Sony LED for right around $1959. Much better then Wackey's or Coax.

Plasma's have the best picture quality hands down and much better viewing angles. But they can have issues with light and reflections. I would make sure to buy from a store that has a good return policy so you can return it if you aren't happy with it.
I have had a Panasonic plasma for about a month now and love it, but it is in my basement.

I have a 8 year old 42" Plasma NO NAME BRAND that isn't even HIGH DEF, just Enhanced Def. Figured it would last 6 to 7 years max but it's still kicking around. Never burnt an image on it yet, but I am careful with it, because it's the early models and I have seen a faint image burn that went away.
can't go wrong with whatever you get, as it's better than a 27" tube.
I like my plasma, in the winter, put on a FIREPlace DVD and the heat it produces is realistic. LOL

Plasma - great for movies for sure, better in dark rooms, usually a wider view area - better on angles - all burn issues are non-factor now and most you can hook your cpu up to and have gaming modes. Heavier- creates more heat, more expensive to run.
LCD - biggest issue is refresh rate but with 120hz and up, 240hz very nice and even seen a 600hz so blur not an issue if you buy a good tv...tap the screen when on - longer it takes the white to go away the worse the refresh rate. Great for bright rooms, gaming, CPU's etc, some do not have as wide a viewing area so if chairs are off to the side may be an issue - depends on model #.
LED - next gen - these are a wow - incredible picture quality - good in bright rooms - same as LCD but brighter. Less expensive to run, still high in price as mentioned.
I have a plasma myself but down in my movie room, up in a room with big window, LCD and LED have less glare and brighter- would recommend one of them - LED if you can afford. Don't go too cheap a hundred bucks difference may mean a lot in quality, when you spend this much make it count.
I have a 50inch Panasonic plasma and its in my living room with a big picture window beside it. It has different picture settings for different light conditions and it works great. The best is Pioneer but way too much money! I also have a Panasonic Gaoo tube tv that I have had for almost 20 years with No issues. Very good brand.
I started doing some TV research the other day because
my 61" TV started acting funny - If it starts acting up
again I'm pretty sure I will be going LED.
Also, I will be giving the below TV a pretty hard look -
The features may not be for everyone, but I think it
sounds kinda cool! - They have the 55" stepped down
version of this TV at Costco in Moncton. ($2199 approx)
Quality will be a main concern, reviews seem pretty good
so far.

Remember VIZIO's LED backlit 55-inch XVT LCD with
WiFi and widgets that debuted for two grand last year
and seemed like such a value? Great, now go ahead and
forget it because the company's top of the line model in
August will switch over to a monster 72-inch 480Hz LCD
(above) with 3D, WirelessHD, VIZIO Internet Apps widget
platform and Wireless-N for $3,499. If that's too big to fit
your budget (or in our case, tiny shoebox apartment)
there will also be 55- and 47-inch versions available, with
all the same features plus a new antireflective panel for
those of you who like to keep the lights on during, they'll
cost $2,499 and $1,999, respectively. These 3D displays
feature SENSIO technology and Bluetooth-synchronized
active shutter LCD glasses from XpanD, while a VIZIO
XVT Pro Wireless HDMI Adapter is available separately
with 4 HDMI inputs to blast HD signals across the room
on the 60Ghz band. Cinema enthusiasts also have
something to look forward to, check the gallery below for
shots of the 58-inch ultrawidescreen 21:9 aspect ratio
XVTPRO580CD, no word on a ship date or price but when
it appears later this year you can kiss black bars during
movies goodbye. We're sure we'll see more models from
VIZIO before CES is out for the smaller, less 3D friendly
homes, but right now it doesn't look like the company
plans on giving up its LCD sales crown anytime soon --
these combinations of features and pricing may prove
very difficult to say no to.
what about the new 3d tv coming out this summer,so i read. here's the samsung link to their new 3d tv. just picked the first site i saw,there's more indepth reviews i'm sure.
that means to me that there will be another price drop but the 3d will likely be rather pricey,but can you imagine playing something like medal of honor on a ps3 in 3d. whoa!
