As an update, I really am enjoying my panasonic plasma. We mounted it on the wall above the dresser and is at the perfect viewing height for laying in bed. I used a $30 wall mount from monoprice that is rock solid. The plasma is one of the cheaper plasmas that has no glare control so it does cause some problems during the day (we have two windows on the opposite wall). Most of our bedroom TV viewing is at night so it generally isn't a problem.
The picture quality is awesome and it has great blacks too (especially least compared to my lcd rp with crappy blacks.).
I will probably get some curtains or different blinds to improve daytime viewing.
I've decided on the panny 65VT30 for the living room. Just need to save some more $$ as the TV is over my original planned budget of $2k.
