My brother has a plasma and it ghost like a mother fucker. LCD's are tried and proven.

Great plasmas will out rank LCDs. The thing with plasma is don't go cheap, their high ends are awesome. Their high ends can be found priced competitively against medium quality LED LCDs too.

Sorry if I made that sound like a question. It wasn't.

I second plasmas... As long as you don't have a big window or any significant light source in the room due to the glare on the glossy screen.

The big thing with plasmas are the dark colors... My bargain 720p plasma blows away my top of the line (at the time) LCD because of that... I spent a ton of time adjusting the LCD to get the best quality, plugged in the plasma and it was much better... Sucks balls in the evening when the sun is on that side of the house though..

Best Buy usually has great deals. They are pretty much all great TV's, as long as you go with a brand you know. I love my 52 inch Toshiba Regza, picture is perfect, and so far never a problem. Though all I ever do with it is play games and watch 3-4 shows a week.

Check out Sears too. Generally the best deals can be had there, at least in my area.

A big problem is stores dont properly setup the tvs. They just unbox them and turn them on.

Sony has a new device that will do that for you.
