After working out the problems with Panasonic on the Plasma I bought, I have been super happy with the quality and price of my 50" plasma that I just bought.

I'ts a 720, but I actually prefer 720 to 1080 anyway. 1080 may be pretty, but I watch a lot of old film and tv. I notice way too much film defect on a 1080 and it worsens my enjoyment experience.
I wouldn't touch a projector because I like being able to watch with the lights on. I don't like LCD's as much either, at least ones that come in a reasonable price range. You will have to pay a ton of money to have a picture that competes with a plasma as far as black levels and color richness goes.

I'm with shmokes - I hate having to fiddle with stuff. However. I watch only Netflix and stored data, in which case a mouse and keyboard are best for me. Plus you can surf best with them at the drop of a hat, as I'm wont to do at times - stop a movie and look up actors and such.
Thinking more about the space, I tend to have a dim 'backlight' on in the room, otherwise I can get a headache. I notice theatres these days have dim ambient lighting, and I haven't gotten a headache in one in a while.
@Vigo: I wonder about Panasonic after looking up the TC-P50U2 VIERA wherein, at ConsumerReportsonline, there are several people saying there's a fault that Panasonic won't address. What were your problems?
Vigo:
Two problems. First was that the tv has composite video-in was using the same inputs as the standard component-in. The tv was not registering that I had a full HD composite plugged in and the image was black and white because it was not looking for the luma and chroma. I updated the TV firmware (super easy because it was a internet capable tv). and then after update I had an option to switch between Component in and composite in.
The second problem was that I was disappointed with the quality of the 3d. The 2d to 3d conversion is spectacular, but the native 3d video seems to have some nasty crosstalk in scenes where the picture was dark but had some bright spots. (i.e. night sky and moon) It wasn't a sync issue though. I researched, and even though I have panasonic glasses, they simply do not get dark enough to block out the bright scenes since the tv is very vibrant. I adjusted the video as much as I could, and it is more acceptable now. I tried holding up some darkening filters to the lenses, and the 3d becomes almost perfect. I may be modding my 3d glasses in the future since it is a hassle to darken the screen every time i want 3d.
and as far as brand goes, I would trust Panasonic much more than most brands. I am currently part of a class action lawsuit on my old samsung. Sammy just denied my claim that was previously approved. They are telling me that even though I did proved I had a defective TV, and even though I filed correctly, they changed their standards for what kind of approval they are accepting, after the fact. So now I am denied, coincidentally they did this within hours of the court deadline. Asses.

is this the one that the power supply fails because of a bum cap? or is this a different one?
