100% Agree with that. Spent 6 months this year researching this stuff and took the plunge about 3 months ago.
Disregarding cost then if you're buying best Plasma go with the Panasonic PV500 - generally rated as the best on the market atm. If you're going LCD get a Phillips PF9830 (Up to 37").
LCD Suffers if you're only using an analogue input as well - no point buying one unless you're using freeview at least but it'll really come into it's own with HDTV, which is coming very very soon...
Power wise the plasma sux it up and lifetime on plasma's is still debatable (Some say 5 years but new models should e longer) but not an issue with LCD.
You'll find people who disagree with all of that cause once you enter into that strange world you come to a conclusion that half the sh!t they're talking about is so invisible to the average viewer that we'll never notice and some people are just obsessive about 'their' technology.
Personally I went LCD and I gotta say it absolutely rocks, on some movies it's like looking out of your window and when HDTV hit's it is gonna be absolutely stunning.
Sorry to disappoint you DP, but actually I bought some of this stuff (get it in 100m rolls from a mate of mine) and simply wall-papered each room for the full IMAX experience.
