Personally I'd go for plasma over LCD anytime, you get far more bang for your buck. The only real downside is power consumption, but that's a small (ish) price to pay.
Whatever you end up buying, get hold of a decent calibration DVD (or software and connect a computer) and invest half an hour setting up the screen. It really is worth it.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

But screw it! I was going to buy a TV in the next year or so anyway. So I went ahead and priced a Panasonic TC-P55GT50 55" plasma. It's top rated by Consumer Reports and it should play well with the Panasonic SC-BTT490 Blu-ray/surround sound. The prices are pretty good right now, so I guess I'll bite the bullet. But this sure would be a nice time for Microsoft stock to go up about $5/share."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Atta boy Jag! :
I have a Panasonic 50" plasma and am quite happy with it.
Dave has some good advice. I finally got around to properly calibrating my t.v. a few months ago and it made quite a difference in picture quality, primarily getting the contrast (black and white settings) optimized for the lighting conditions in the room.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

This model has something called THX Mode that's supposed to "promise picture quality similar to a professional calibration." That's what they claim, but I don't know for sure.
Now I just hope that the dog doesn't get sick or that my car doesn't blow up on Christmas morning. Happy, happy, happy!"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
