I'm not calling you an idiot.  I just like this cartoon.  Also, "bah" to your 'too low' comment.  It's all personal opinion.

And I just like funny animal photos.

For overall picture quality - I say go with plasma.  That said, the most recent display I bought was a 46" Samsung LED LCD (super thin!!!) and it looks amazing - as long as you're within about 15 degrees of straight on the screen.  Off axis washes out quite a bit....

Either DishNetwork or DirectTV does, I cant remember which (I work for comcast so I know we broadcast in both 720p and 1080i) . Also 1080i VS 720p is an opinion; Some prefer one over the other for different reasons.

Currently, Directv is 1080i, with 1080p being used for their "on Demand" (internet downloads to DVR) content.

With all this advice in mind I went shopping  ;D .....

Sorry, I tried really hard to like the Plasma units better.  After much umming and arrring, squinting, standing off to either side and weighing it up I went for a series 7 46" Samsung LED 3D unit.
I couldn't detect any significant drop off, off axis in this model.  240 Hz 3D viewing is awesome.  Limited titles in 3D but I'm sure that will change.  I know early generation LCD TV's suffered from artifacting and other issues.  I think maybe 1080P Plasma was better in that generation of units (that I could see).

I work in film post production, color correction to be specific. We use Pioneer Elite plasmas around the facility for rough viewing because for $2500 (bulk discount I guess) it's the most accurate picture you can get without getting a discontinued Sony CRT BVM-
I have a Panasonic 50" plasma at home and it's very accurate. Never seen an LCD get close. Oh and my plasma is 1920x1080 resolution, none of this weird stuff I've been seeing quoted-

Oh and we have a Panasonic 3d panel here too. 3D isn't my cup of tea right now. Maybe when 3d gaming takes off? Madden in 3d would probably sell me on it...
