...you have bright, direct sunlight on your display, because the glass on a plasma is more reflective. LCDs are generally recommended if you have a sunny room where light control is difficult. My advice - buy a plasma close the curtains or pull the shade dow, sheesh.

Plasmas are not going away in a year. There are fewer makers, but they are big players, and they have some new technology coming in the next year.

I wouldn't pay much attention to CC salespeople, I know far more than they do and I'm hardly a pro. They also work on commission. (BB folks are on salary, not that I'm recommending their advice.) The Sonys are the best LCDs I've see, but as I said below, the blacks and shadow detail on almost all LCDs just aren't quite good enough for me, not to mention the action "trails". I also think the plasmas are smoother and more film like, and since I watch a lot of movie, that's important.

Even though a lotta people love their LCD, the motion trails drive me nuts on LCD. Just remember, a lot of people think Bose sounds good. Doesn't make 'em correct.

If you're gonna watch sports and/or movies, I recommend you get 52" or larger, if you have the wall space.
