Greetings!
Okay. Let's take this in the opposite direction...
I, too, am looking to get a new TV. Probably in the next two months, so I have time to wait a bit.
My application is for a small bedroom, maybe 11' from the viewer to the wall. (Sorry about the english / imperial measurements. This isn't a Mars lander...

) I am looking to get a reasonable size (between 25-35") flat panel TV. I am open on LCD vs plasma, knowing the technologies between the two, but needing to hear about advantages / disadvantages (like that buzzing mentioned above for plasma!!!).
Widescreen (16:9 ratio) is preferred, but most of my viewing will be regular, boring, broadcast / cable TV, without any external speakers or home theater setup. I will use an occasional DVD, but nothing spectacular. I will be hanging it on the wall, to get a bit more depth and because there is nothing the set can be resting on at that location.
Could someone (everyone!) point me to a good FAQ for just the basic viewer?
Edit: My current favorite is the Sony KLV-30XBR900, but it seems a bit expensive (Crutchfield)...
