After months of research and question-asking re: new flat panel TV's, the final answer is definitely LCD over plasma and screen size a matter of preference.
The best deal in the industry today is at Sam's Club. They have available the new Vizio 52" LCD with PIP for $1889. Bought this unit recently and it is incredible. You have always heard that being at a sporting event was better than watching it on TV- however, with this particular TV, I'm happier watching a sporting event on the Vizio as opposed to actually being at the event?? Strange, but true!! Picture quality and sound are beyond belief and the price is the best in the industry. I'm not for plugging a product, but this one is a winner.
