I've got a 61" DLP HDTV. Plasma was too expensive for me (and I haven't seen any Plasmas that look good after 5 years - though the new ones might be better). The major difference between LCD and DLP is that LCD is a truly flat set, and you are looking at every pixel - skinny tv = good, but a dead pixel stays dead forever, and DLP uses a Texas Instruments chip with "millions of mirrors" to project what is basically an LCD image onto your screen. A little bulkier, but cheaper and more forgiving. (are you sure you don't have DLP, scaeagles?)

One thing to beware when buying: Costco models might seem cheaper, but you need to check all of the specs. For example, the TV I bought (Toshiba) was almost $400 cheaper at CostCo, but the CostCo model had only one HDMI jack, while the one I bought at onecall.com has two. I already use both jacks (for my digital cable and my upscaling DVD player), so it was well worth the price difference.
