I agree with the captain, the best bang for the buck, if you have the space, is RP.
I might have considered plasma, except that I spend a lot of time on my computer and, although the risk is greatly reduced from early generations, burn in can still be an issue.
LCD had improved in leaps and bounds. I havn't really looked at current gen, but around last christmas, I coudn't tell much difference in picture quality between the best LCD and the best Plasma. Black levels are still a little better on plasma, but not much.
