Default Buying a Big Screen

So we are looking to get a big screen TV for the house. Boxing Week seems like as good of a time as any to go for it.

Specifically, I believe we are looking for a 50" Plasma TV. How do Plasma's compare to LCD's (price, quality, etc.)

So what recommendations does everyone have for this? What brands are good, which to avoid? Where would be a good place to look for deals? Do you have one - what size, what brand, how long have you had it, what did it cost, etc.?

Any information is appreciated.

I just got a 50" Sony 3LCD Rear-Projection TV but I haven't taken it out of the bo yet so I can't tell you if I like it or not.

I'm not impressed. Simple, one color design and really it's just not much to look at. It does do a good job as a shelf currently for folded clothing and a couple misc. things I can't find a spot for.

I bought the Sony 42" LCD Rear Projection a little over a year ago, and loved it. I upgraded to the current model in the 55" about a month ago, and love it as well. I got it with 5 year warranty, delivered for around $2550 on PriceGrabber.Com. If you can afford the SXRD (I think the 60" was around $4800), go for it, as those are really amazing.
