Personally, I'd go with a Bigscreen-style TV if you can fit it. Or a DLP, as DLPs are not TOO deep. They will be less expensive, DLPs don't suffer from burn in and support the BEST picture at any resolution with the darkest blacks. So, instead of looking great at one resolution like a plasma, they will look good at 480i, 480p, 720i (never seen 720i actually used), 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. I don;t even know if most plasmas support 1080p.
For now, for the price, and for the future, I'd go with DLP. 1080p is coming, and you want a set that can support it well.
You might want to learn how hdtv's work before spreading flase information. a DLP set will have only one native resolution just like a plasma.

regardless what you get.... annything 50 inches and up... is gaming heaven. dont forget the 5.1 surround!
Uh, no. I had a sweet 62" Toshiba that sucked ass compared to the 60" SXRD I got in Feb for $3,499 (my CC mispriced it, I got it for the cost of the 50"). It blows away the other TV's I have here (LCD and Plasma). The HD channels are so clear you'd sware you're looking through a "Windex'd" window. 360 looks amazing too.
SXRD if you can.

Yeah. I'm sorry, I admit I was wrong and confusing some of the factors of CRTs with DLPs.
I still believe that a DLP will be the best bet for you, though, but don't know of any in particular that I could recommend.

All of what you said is why ive held off from buying a new one. So many technologies that are evolving so fast. I'll get a DLP but only when it "gets there" (I see rainbows on all of the old ones). LCD and Plasma just suck IMO.
LCoS is sick but I dont have the wallet for it right now. I started saving last year so next year I'll be able to drop 3,000 on a tv. Hope its enough LOL.
3grand can defenitly get you an Lcos SXRD. Honestly this summer is going to be interesting. Right now the 50" SXRD can be had in most retail store for what 3,400? I know if you look online enough (maybe choose a slightly lesser warranty) you can get one right now. This summer with the new line coming they will be trying to move the older model out the door for drastically reduced prices if 1080p HDMI is not to important to you. Also there are alot of people that think the 55" might come out at the same price as the current 50" or some believe less....I hope so. So I would not count Lcos out of your choice just yet. And the Lcos I believe will be there this summer with the LED design instead of your convential Lamp and Color Wheel design...but thats just speculation till we can see one.
Really I wish I could wait till the dust settles myself BUT I simply can't stand waiting any longer and decided that this summer is decision time.
