If you go with Sony/Samsung/Sharp you don't usually have to worry about contrast ratios as they are all pretty similar. I am not too familiar with plasmas but are usually pretty nice if you go with panasonic, I believe Samsung makes a nice one as well?
Plasma has improved a lot and burn in is pretty much non-existent...

It basically comes down to what you want to do and how much money you want to throw at them. I am partial to my speakers but just do some research and stay away from Bose

First, like the avatar!!! haha Gonna have to get that from you lol. Back on topic, that is the TV range I am looking at. LCDs are by far the cheapest. Plasma and LED are about the same. Since I seem to use my tv I have now mostly for playing xbox/ps3 and watching movies I will be sticking with one of the two. Thanks for all the input! Really have some good knowledge. I am going to pick out a couple models I like, and then wait for Black Friday! Don't worry, I will be staying away from Bose.
