Here's my perception. True or false?:

Plasma is a dying format.

LCD is the best, but most expensive.

DLP had promise but is just amped up rear-projection.
I just bought a TV for the bedroom here and demoed pretty well everything and I agree with this.

Plasma flickers and the colours seem to be too saturated. As well plasma has as huge problem with burn in, so if you want to watch a 4:3 show on a 16:9 Plasma you must stretch it out and watch a distorted picture.

With the LCD's you can watch 4:3 without distortion if you like with no issues. It also seems the colour can be adjusted to be a bit more realistic.

I bought a Sony 32" LCD Panel and I'm very happy with it. It's amazing with HDTV or DVD sources and also has a good analog picture. Sony recently dropped the price on this model to match the Sharp 32" (which has an inferior picture) so they are a good buy right now.
