I have a smaller Samsung LCD and it has been terrific on HD and standard broadcasts, DVDs and XBOX. We got the PRO1130 Elite plasma for a wall-mount application, and I must say, to my eyes the 1130 is simply jaw-dropping. Of the three different TV technologies in the house (LCD, RPTV, PDP), the plasma is by far the coolest and best looking to MY eyes (and is the most costly per inch). I have to agree with LeMans, Fujitsu makes great panels. Panny, Pio, and Fuj seems to be held in the highest regard in the plasma market right now. Unfortunately the Panny's are out of stock everywhere due to the goofs in forecasting the demand for well-priced 50" plasmas TV's and display-only models. The 'ED' 43" models seem to be in most stores though, and they look really good for the money.
