I gave a Visio plasma set to my folks recently that had an outstanding picture, it was very sharp. They also got a 32" HD WEGA set, it was very bright of course. I don't like the LCD sets, the color temperature is all wrong for some reason. Those both had a slightly better picture than my Mitsu set, but neither can beat the 65" picture size. It's a game of trade offs, if you ask me.
