[quote name='VipFREAK']What's up with the Plasma buzz all of a sudden... ? I thought they were inferior next to LCD or even DLP.

Depends on what type of room its going in and its use:
Dark Room with Limited Use:
Projector or Projection TV
Dark Room lots of use:
Plasma
LCD
Highly Lit Room:
LCD with matte finish screen
Average Lit Room (i.e. not east to west windows, has curtains)
Plasma
LCD with gloss screen
Overall "best" picture in order:***
Plasma
LCD with Gloss Screen
LCD with Matte Screen
Projection TV
***This really depends on the room and the price range I am assuming average end tv's which you can get at Best Buy or Circuit City not from a Home Theater Store.
Personally I have a 50" Panasonic 1080p Plasma. Could not be happier. Best $800 I have ever spent (employee discount). I would recommend Panasonic to anyone who is looking for a great TV at a reasonable price. I wont lie and if I could get such a deal on a Pioneer I would be all over it.
EDIT: If you are planning on hooking your computer to a TV I would suggest not to get a Plasma if you plan on surfing the net or having you desktop up is a bid idea. The "burn-in" issue is really not an issue with all new tvs they have a features that make it damn near impossible. Though for the first 100 hours you will want to cycle through a bunch of stuff (i.e. no stagnant images) and then you dont have to worry at all. The most you will get is "image retention" which you see a ghost of the image for a few sec. but goes away as soon as you put a new image on it.
