I'd never buy another LCD after having 3 of them and 1 plasma. All 3 had off axis viewing problems. Don't know if that was ever fixed. Haven't shopped around much lately, but I did see an OLED that might be a good contender for Plasma. Perhaps better. I was told the price for a 65 inch was around $4500, which is the price point of my plasma when it first came out (Panasonic 65VT50).
