Plasma is still king. LCD if you demand a brightly lit room all the time, or would like to use it with the computer. If you want the most accurate picture, best contrast, deepest blacks, and the best overall experience with your movies, plasma is king. DLP should just die already, it's not even close. I mean if the picture sucks, who the hell cares about it being 65 inches anyway?
Look at the top Panasonics at Costco. 99.5% of the Pioneers at far less cost.

I can say first hand, do the math on the room size and viewing distance and all that jazz. I bought one that was too big for the room and it sucked. I had to take it back and then went to magnolia and they helped get me a good sized one. 60 was too big. Almost gave my kids epileptic seizures when playing gears...lol.
Sorry if someone said this already. Ohe and bring your own dvd to play when looking at tvs. I found that video loop is set to bring out the best in key brands. I bought my oen dvd (madagascar) and it looked better on a cheaper tv. (I looked elsewher before buying the model from Costco, costco light sucks.)

A recommendation for cables. But first, yes Monster Cable does indeed suck.
These folks here have very high quality Belden cable of all types, made right here in the U.S.A, up in Seattle. Prices are extremely reasonable.

If you're in the market for a DVD player, but not quite ready for Blu-ray, this company makes very excellent up-converting DVD players. Stunning picture on my Panny plasma. You can buy and pick it up at their warehouse in Mountain View.

I finally got the TV I originally was looking to get, A 67 Inch Samsung HL67A750 & stand for $2000 with taxes included at the store closing sale at Circuit City, and I picked up a sony blu-ray from costco, picture quality is great and I'm pretty happy with both the tv and the player. This tv is massive!!

Thanks, but this tv does not require a lamp it's a LED engine that will last the life of the tv approximately 10-13 years, that's one of the main reasons I bought it.
