ChadTower:

Just noticed this - figured I'd throw it out there for you guys.  I bought one of these in the run up to Xmas last year.  It's a great TV at that price - good picture, decent speakers, makes a good monitor.  GREAT for gaming.  Not as good as a plasma, of course, but it's $550 shipped... I love mine, I use it for regular TV viewing and an XBMC station, looks and works great for that.

Gahhh....  my Xbox 360 would sweet hooked up to that....

Nannuu:
No coax input sucks though.  We have Dish Network which does room #2 through the house coax.  Running it through a VCR or similar does not appeal to me  :(

shmokes:
Don't you need a box anyway?  I'm under the impression that you can't just hook a Dish Network feed directly to a TV to get channels.  If you've got it hooked to a set top box (equivalent of a cable box), that will then have all the outputs you need, so you're' not married to coax.

Here's something, though.  Chad, I've seen you talk about Plasma being better than LCD on a couple of different occasions.  I disagree, but wonder what makes you think this.  I feel like Plasma has certain strengths over LCD, but that LCD has just as many over Plasma.  Certainly at this size LCD is the clear winner (I actually don't think it's even possible to get an HD plasma below 40" because they can't get the pixels small enough using plasma technology for panels this small).

Anyway, at any size, even if price were no object, I would seriously be considering a variety of options before deciding which technology to go with (assuming both were available in the size I was in the market for).  I think that while Plasma may have started out as the king of large flat-panel displays, LCD has totally caught up and in some ways surpassed Plasma, thanks in large part to the PC monitor market which LCD owns due to plasma's inability to make smaller panels with high resolutions.  LCD technology has just been moving at lightspeed over the past few years.

. . . And so on. 

ChadTower:

I look at it this way:  my brother in law has a 37" plasma.  For picture quality it beats the ever loving crap out of my 32" LCD.  That's my rationale, taking price/etc out of the equation.

With most things being relatively equal, in the smaller range, LCD is what to go with.  Once you get into larger panels, disregarding price for this comparison, I haven't seen an LCD that is as good as most plasmas.  Not yet.
