There is almost no difference now between Plasma and LCD, but Plasma still offers better color and better "black" levels (the color black is actually blacker than an LCD screen which can appear grey, on cheaper sets anyway).

Buy the biggest TV you can afford or that will fit into your living room. You won't regret it. I have a 52" Plasma (Panasonic) at home that I've had for years now and I still love it.

All TV's have at least 1 HDMI interface. You WANT this. When you buy your Blueray DVD player or HD Satelite system, connect it to the HDMI interface. Don't waste your time using anything else.

Finally, last bit of advice. Treat yourself to an XBOX 360 with the HD option pack, and buy the games Halo 3 and GTA 4. You will NEVER leave your couch again. Of course your girlfriend will dump you but you know what? you won't care. You'll be in TV / Video game heaven.

Enjoy!
