Location

Hanging it over the fireplace may a good use of space but has drawbacks. It might subject the set to unacceptable heat if you use the fireplace, even while the TV is off, depending on the fireplace design. Many plasma tvs generate enough heat to be space heaters and more heat is the last thing they need. It puts the TV significantly above sitting eye level making for not so comfortable viewing. Also, be sure you can run your power and input cables to the location without them being an eyesore.

I agree that unless side-by-side with HDTV, EDTV looks "good enough" if you're 10ft+ away and has a superb picture compared to standard TV. There are some super EDTV values in the stores; sets that cost over $5K last year are half that now. SED technology is coming by the end of the year and is liable to blow plasma away, so I wouldn't invest in an expensive set.
