Once you go plasma you won't go back. I was an LCD person, but the Plasmas have a much better feel for them and are also cheaper in price but not in quality. Fear not the burn in. Once programed and also all the anti-burn in technology running you are GOLDEN!

the 60" model was just on buy.com the other day for $3.3k shipped (non-authorized though)
sold out but will probably come back in stock every now and then

it'll be one hell of a tv once you get it calibrated

i agree
for movies...plasma is the way to go
the deep blacks are to die for vs. the greyish looking blacks on LCDs

Not even just the colors. I also found LCD motion to be "cheap" and layered whereas the Plasma felt like I was watching it being shot rather than through a camera/TV
