yes, get the plasma, I love my 50" Panasonic 1080p plasma, I've yet to
see any non-plasma monitors that looks as good, especially for fast
motion, color vibrancy and the illusion of depth. I have a lot of
friends with varying quality of LCD displays to compare it to and each
time I have to watch one I pat myself on the back for having gone with
plasma
