LG Electronics and Sharp Corp. said they expected prices of flat LCD television sets to drop by 20 to 30 percent or more in 2007 amid overproduction and cost reductions.

I have an LG 50" plasma tv with HD cable. The resolution is 780 or therabouts (not the newer 1080) and all I can say is geeehhyyaat daayuum! What a picture on the HD channels
My daughter works for Best Buy and I was able to get one hell of a discount.
LG makes two 50" plasma models. One with a DVR and the other without DVR (Digital Video Recorder). I got the one without DVR for about $500.00 cheaper. My HD cable already has DVR capability, so I didn't need it.
I preferred the plasma over LCD or DLP because the screen is glass instead of plastic or plastic membrane. We have pets and I was worried about scratches etc.
Life is Good

Nice Vader. I think we are going to go with the Hitachi I posted in the first post. I found a hook up at our local BestBuy and should get a pretty good deal.
Now all we have left is to decide on the sectional couch and carpet. Yipeee.
Vader - Did you or are you going with any type of service plan or extra warranty on the Sony?

I don't know yet. We haven't made the deal on the tv and they way we are working it with the BestBuy employee, it's kind of a package deal. Not sure yet.
My biggest concern is burn in with the plasma. $200 doesn't sound that bad at all for 5 years. It's hard telling what the technology will be like in 5 years anyways. You'll be buying a 72" by then
