After the last year or so of research, I plan to go with an LCD - probably Sony's top of the line. Obviously, TV is real important to me and I don't mind spending the bucks. I hate glare from lamps, windows, etc. and the LCD outdoes all the others on this aspect. It's also more efficient, less heat, and the new models are extremely close to Plasma in contrast/blacks now.
My only suggestion is that if you are buying a 1080i TV, be sure to buy an upconverting DVD player even if you decide to wait on a BlueRay or HD-DVD player. AND, make sure the TV has 2 or more HDMI connectors as this is the direction everything is going (DVRs, TV sound systems, cable boxes, HD players, etc.)
