Wow so many uninformed people, ********** made some good points but and ill add some more.

First ill say i have a fairly new 50inch panasonic and i experience no heat issues but ive felt other branded plasmas and older model plasmas(2-3yrs old) that do give off ALOT of heat and i am very happy with it for SD/HD tv, xbox and bluray.

If you compare them instore check the back of the panel to see what input they are using, one might look better than the other if its using hdmi instead of component.

Compare the tvs from the distance that you sit from your tv, so if u sit 3meters from the tv stand 3meters back in the store not 1meter.

Best advice anyone can give you is find some people you know that have similar tvs that you are looking at buying, stick in your xbox play a game and watch a dvd and see what YOU like better.

Dont get sucked into buying the upsells, $100 for a monster cable, high end surge catcher, high end aerial cable etc...

Look online for tv forums that compare models and see what people are saying about the ones you are interested in, get consumer feedback.
