LCD.

Can't think of any reason to buy Plasma.


Most manufacturers are making good products these days. You still pay more for the name with the high end brands. Just get a name you've heard before and you'll be fine (easy to get replacement remote, etc.).

1080 is the way to go, even though you won't use it unless you have Blueray (which you will want with a 60" 1080 )

Multiple HDMI inputs are good. So are inputs on the front for easy access, the ones on the side/back of panel tvs are hard to find when the tv is hanging on the wall (no big deal for the cords that will always be connected, but for video camera playback, etc.)

Should be some great deals out there!!

Have fun
