Yeah, can't really go wrong there. Those are probably the top 3 LCD TV brands out there in terms of quality. Great reviews almost across the board. My family has a 1.5 year old Samsung 40" LCD that we are quite enamored with. Nothing but good things to say.
LCD is probably the way to go for you, especially if it'll be in a well-lit room with great potential for glare. Plasmas "generally" have somewhat better contrast, deeper blacks, richer colours... but are known for succumbing to glare big time. I really enjoy the LCD I watch daily, but I'd probably recommend a plasma if you were going for a home theater in a den with no/small windows and low level lighting.
I think you're on the right track. Watch for sales at a few key retailers for a couple of weeks and something might jump out at you.
Good luck in the search and have fun!
