Be sure to look at the Panasonic Plasmas in the 42-50 inch sizes. They weigh less than some of the plasmas, and I think have a blow you away picture with the 720p version all but indistinguishable from the 1080p version. That great consumer testing magazine agrees with me that they are a superior product and that the 720p and 1080p versions are both outstanding.

Plus there are very good deals out there on them relative to Sony and Pioneer I think.

I'm not sure what you were intending on spending, but I think you can find a 50 inch Panasonic Plasma on sale at around $1500, perhaps less, and I have a local ad this AM for the 42 inch 720p version at $1000. I think you would be hard pressed to beat those prices. I also think you are going to have a tough time beating the Panasonic plasma picture quality at any price.
To me 1080p only makes sense if you see yourself building a Blu Ray library and then really only in the 50+ inch sizes..
