Thanks,
Would you still buy a LCD Sony again today ?
Where is your favorite store ? Best Buy...others ?
If you leave your TV on many hours a day a plasma will be bad in 6 months time, the screens have a 'half life' that goes down rapidly if used a lot.
Don't know about the Sony. It's highly touted but has had a few minor quirks. I need closed caption because of some hearing loss in my 30's and it doesn't work on CNN!
Bought it at a REX store, don't know if that's a nation wide store or not.
I have not read through the thread but have heard that DLP might be something to check into.
