Well, first, stay the hell away from Insignia unless you want a new one in a couple of years.
yeah that's pretty much it as plasma technology is decreasing in demand along with 720p sets. Although, if you watch any sport on any LCD, andthen go to plasma, its not even close. IMO, the picture on a plasma can't be touched by LCD. Some get pretty close but its just not quite there. Hockeyis especially poor on a LCD.

Anyway, I wanted to mention this site for LCD BUYING GUIDES its pretty comprehensive and has everything you may look for. Also, consider using this DISTANCE CALCULATOR. Its helpful. when you're considering your set size. From my experience, the advantage to getting a 1080p set is that you can sit closer to a larger panel, while keeping the same image resolution and quality, while experiencing the huge size. I'm too far from my set I think. I should have got a 50". I have an older NEC commercial panel in my other room and its the same size as the pioneer, but the seating is closer and the picture seems better...even though I know its not
To be honest, depending on your budget, if you're looking at a panel under 40", I would strongly consider getting a 720p resolution to save some cash. Everything is broadcast in 720p or 1080i right now, and unless you have a PS3 or BRDVD you're not going to be taking advantage of the resolution anyway. Also, its not like what you watch in 720 is going to look bad compared to 1080p. They all look awesome. I would just stress you put your money in a good brand like samsung or sharp. I agree that its would be wise to stay away from sony unless you're going to XBR, but all they're panels are good.
If you're not in a rush, wait a month or two and you will see all of the current models go on heavy sale. The big MFR's cycle the models twice a year. You should be able to get a really good deal come the end of April beginning of May.
Edit - one thing I wanted to mention last time...check out G&G Audio Video (I think that's what its called). You're in Scarb right? Its at kingston and ahhh, just west of morning side if I remember right. They're really good with Sony, and I'm sure you can negotiate a deal. I bought a stereo from 2001 Audio Video and you can haggle those dudes...may be worth a try if you see a model you like.
