Plasmas are quite a bit more reliable than they used to be. They also tend to have a better contrast ratio and can display more colors. I haven't read anything yet about a buzzing problem, and they have features now to help prevent burnout. I checked out the Aquas but they're pretty expensive.... Also I don't think I'll be able to tell the difference with 1080p. I'm just going to have to go this weekend and look at all of them for myself. Maybe I will find an LCD I like.

That one's only 1200 on amazon and like 1500 at Best Buy.
