I'm sure the Pannys are great, but don't forget about Samsung, especially their plasmas. There was an issue last year with their Cinema Smooth feature (96 Hz, 4:4 pulldown) pushing black levels higher when receiving a 24 Hz signal, but that has been rectified with firmware updates. The colors absolutely pop, and HD movies and games look stunning on it. Find someone with a PS3 and pop in the latest Final Fantasy to see what I mean. I'm sure this year's plasmas, as well as their 3-D displays and LED LCDs, will grab a significant share of the market.
And I have yet to experience any image retention, even when leaving an image paused for several minutes.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
