I have a LG 60 inch Beast that cost me $15K 6 months ago. 1/5000 contrast ratio with built in HD tuner. I LOVE It. its beautiful and bright, handles blacks very nicely (lcd's don't do blacks as well I hear). We watch a lot of dvd's and digitial TV, both come through great. I saw the LCD's and they looked good but more expensive than Plazma's without any major benifits

The burnin is an issue on plazma's, I make sure as a habit to not leave it on pause for more than 1-2 mins. Just cause sometimes you leave it on for 50 mins without noticing (oops). It has a (Whitewash) feature to clear the burn in and it works great and clears it within 5-20 secs. I left the plazma on for 4-5 hours on a bright image one day and it had a lot of burn in. I white washed it for 10 mins and it was still burnt in. I thought the plazma was going to be permantly like this, I went to be woke up and it had no burnin anymore. So burnin just cleared itself. Its not that much of an issue, just something you need to keep an eye on sometimes.

I also noticed when playing Xbox that the burnin would not be good for 8 hour Xbox gaming so if your a gamer i'd get a LCD.

DLP's suck ass compared to Plazma's imo, the colors & crispness do not even compare.

LCD's would certainly be one of my next purchases as i'm a gamer and would want the LCD for my 2nd tv so I can game while the wife watches tv.
