JUry's stiil out on blu ray. If you have to have insane resolution and don't mind that it will be obsolete in the near future than get it,it looks and sounds incredible. As far as TV's go I prefer an LCD with DLP technology but make sure you get the latest DLP engine they are ALWAYS improving the tecnology. Plasma technology is unforgiving on all but the best signal sources and I really don't like the look of it. Just my personal preference. Truth is these days TV's are like cars, You really can't buy a shitty one anymore.
I will look at the LCD's and forget about blu ray for the time being. I disagree about all tv's being good though, a few of my friends have those 3000 dollar projections with the 100 inch screens, and while they are cool for a minute, I don't find the pic quality that good at all, especially if we are playing cards and its bright. Maybe if I was watching a movie in the dark they would look better? Thanks.
