you will be happy with plasma, as long as you take care of a few things before you really get into watching it.

Calibration is the key!

I just need to figure out which plasma to get. I have seen stuff on avsforums about discs and no side bars through stretching etc for break in if that is what you mean.

UPDATE:

I ordered a Pioneer 5080 and I should have it next week. I tried to give the business to Speakershop, but they only sell Pio Elites. Anyways, there is a pretty good review on cnet and the set seems to be pretty popular with everyone over at avsforum.
