If you're more concerned with picture quality, you can't go wrong with a Panasonic plasma.

If you've got a lot of light in the room the set will be in though, go with an LCD.

I want a VT badly, but I'm cool with a 50" S60 as my bedroom set.

The higher models have some kinda light filter on it. I have a high lighting situation but I never notice it at all.
