I considered getting one of the Panasonic plasmas, but last week I finally got what I really wanted: a projector. It's been incredible, and I can't recommend it enough, if you have the space for it. DLP has real contrast equal to plasmas when it is properly set up, zero ghosting, image retention, or backlight bleed, and it disappears when you're not using it. Only drawback for me is that I can't use it during the day, but I never watch movies or game in the day anyway.
