Hawk, I was looking at that one (pioneer) right before I wrote this. That seems like a good one and the prices on it seem pretty good as well.
I'm a little confused that 1080p seems to be the big deal now and a lot of the plasma's that are priced well are not true 1080p. Does it matter much or is it overkill. I think I read that 1080p doesn't matter at that size screen.
Ken, yes I'd rather stay with lcd or plasma, I suppose in my size range I can get either, which only makes things tougher. Right now I have a Sony 36" wega crt, It was amazing several years ago, still is actually but it is taking up about 15sf of my appartment.

and I'd like to get the space back.
The best spot in my living room is above the fireplace (not used) but it wasn't possible to put crts or rear projections there, I am psyched about flat panel.
