Are you only considering LED/LCD? Only reason I would choose an LCD over a plasma is if the TV is going in a bright room with lots of direct sunlight. Otherwise, I don't think you can beat Panasonic plasmas for the quality or price.

Also, I wouln't pay for any extended warranty. Seems like most electronics either fail in the first year of use or last for quite some time.
