Just don't think I can get myself to buy a Vizio or other cheap brand. I believe you really do get what you pay for with electronics.

I so badly wish that someone would make a 32 or 37" plasma. If you people are buying a 50" or bigger then you really should be sticking to the better brands (Samsung, Panasonic, Pioneer) and don't just fall for the lowest priced deal. These are going to be the low model line and you can get some serious upgrades by going up a level. Of course you will pay for it, but figure out what you really want and need out of it.

Somebody had mentioned something about the LCD's not showing sports very well. This is to be expected as they don't have good enough refresh rates to avoid blur. Unfortunately they do not make plasma's under 42" (that I know of). I'm actually in the market for both a bedroom and living room flat screen this holiday season. Either 32" or 37" LCD (no choice for plasma) in the bedroom and then 50"+ plasma in the living room. I still have to take some measurements to see what will fit, while trying to avoid putting it over the fireplace. I get a work discount on Panasonic products that will put their new 58" plasma in the $2500 range. As for the bedroom TV, I'm a big tech kind of guy and don't want to go too cheap. A 720p set would be fine at those smaller sizes, but I would probably want a good brand name.
