I might end up going w\ a 46'' 1080p. I was looking at a resolution comparison and that made my mind up! I just don't know if that is worth another $400.
there is a 46'' 1080p version that is $850. really dont want to go any smaller than that.
wound up getting the 46'' samsung 1080p... realized last night that my directv hd dvr only outputs 1080i, same w\ the ps3. live n learn i guess. the 46'' lcd was only $30 more than the 50'' plasma.
