all this is just off the top of my head possibly from some unreliable source.

The top plasma maker, Pioneer has stopped making them so I hear you can get some good deals relatively speaking, on their plasma's.
Panasonic, Samsung and LG are still going strong with the new Panasonic getting great reviews. The Samsung's are also good but I've heard complaints of a loud buzzing. The LGs are inexpensive but need to be updated with newer models.
I have two LCDs with 120hz and hockey looks great on them. A 60 Hz TV loses resolution in fast paced action, also a 120hz TV should have better overall specs than a 60hz TV from the same company.
My next TV may be a large plasma but I won't be using it for watching much SD TV or stations such as CNN with their scrolling bars as Plasma still needs some care to prevent burn in.
