If you should decide to get a LCD and like basketball be sure to look for on with 120 Hz refresh rate - or else it won't look as smooth. Also look for a bunch of HDMI ports - i am maxing mine out with a TIVO HD, Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Player, Apple TV, XBOX 360, and PS3.

yes, but one that is 1080p NOT 1080i or 720p. The 1080i and 720p will be cheaper, but they are old technology, if you one day want to have HD tv and/or blu-ray player make sure it's 1080p. In my research I have found the best TV brands to buy start with an S. Sony, Samsung or Sharp are the best Brands of TVs to buy. Also skip any extra warranty, they are simply up sells that the company uses to get more money from you. 90% of the time anything that will go wrong with normal use will happen in the first year that the manufacturer will cover the first year. Also shop the price to any extra cables for your new TV like HDMI cables, the place that sells you the TV will try to make you buy the most expensive HDMI cable for a few hundred bucks, shop around online and places like The Source to get the best deal on any cables, power bars and such

The two measurements of plasma greatness are the deepness of blacks and color accuracy. CNET is a reliable source for TV reviews. I'd recommend checking them out to find a balance between what you want and what you can afford.
