Thanks guys. Well, I've spent over 3 solid hours reading the AVS forum. And, if you do the same, there is only one conclusion to be had. Look around, buy what YOU like! Everyone has an opinion on one brand vs another. Bottom line I've found is this:

1. Get one that can handle what you want to hook-up to it. Example, if you need DVI, make sure it has a DVI port. If you want a built in tuner, make sure it has it...

2. Get the size that is right, for the room you'll be using it in. Bigger is not always better, in my opinion.

3. Make sure you spend the few extra dollars for a setup cd. Then, take your time and do a complete & proper setup / configuration.

From what I've read, just about ANY plasma is good, if it's setup right. I've even read a Gateway or Sampo can be a nice Plasma, if setup correctly. So, the more I read, the more confusing I get and my list of what sounds good, changes every other minute! I quit writing down the models, I think I'll look at. Another thing that seems to be consistent, most stores (Circuit City, Best Buy...) don't setup the plasmas correctly, so any comparison you make in these stores, don't really count!
