If you sit close to the television, and you are interested in or have available high-quality HD content (specifically Blu-ray and 1080i OTA broadcasts), a newer 1080p television of that size will provide a noticeably more detailed picture. OTOH, if you sit back a ways, and/or only use DVD/cable/sat as your sources, you'd likely be wasting money on a more capable display.

A current-gen plasma will also offer better contrast and somewhat improved black level; however, your television provides better black level than pretty much any of LC panel, even the most recent versions.

If you decide to get rid of it, and you live close to me, I'll take it off your hands :-)
