but I do have concerns about the peak power usage of a 42" plasma panel, which can reach around 300 watts.

If you're that concerned then I'm assuming you've exchanged all the incandescent light bulbs in your house for flourescents, converted your house to solar energy and are driving a "green" car..........and have limited your kids shower times to 5 minutes.

If not, then go with the plasma if you can afford it. You won't regret it.......

Ray, my only comment on the subject would be to think about the reflective qualities of the screen. I have always stayed away from screens where windows or lights behind you, could be reflected in the screen.

Give this some thought, and if you choose to get a reflective screen, at least you will have considered the pros and cons up front.

Take care and good luck to you.

Saturday evening my wife and I viewed a Sony 3D prototype. Wow. They will be out about mid-year 2010. Of course they will be $5,000 or so at first.

The 3D effect did not require the red/blue glasses, but did require other polarized or some such glasses. The effect was startlingly good. It was crisp, clear, and the depth was amazing, no color degradation at all.

From what the sales person was saying, there may be about three 3D cable channels to start, with one of them being sports oriented.

Can you imagine seeing a football game in 3D, the football headed toward you right into your living room? Wow.

Amazing...

If you’re going to spend the money, get a plasma. I’ve got a Sanyo 50” plasma that I just love. Superior picture and quality. Yes, it does use a little more electricity, however, it’s worth it.

I prefer LG, they use a IPS panel that has great color and viewing angles

Yep, like others, get a Vizio at Costco.

Mmmmm, plasma.

I’ve had a plasma since 2006, no problems and it looks so much better than the 42” LCD we bought last year for the bedroom.
