Currently in our house, the downstairs front projection screen is the only HDTV we have (gasp!). Our family room TV is still an old 32" CRT. We're not in any rush to upgrade the set - it was my wife's set and she bought a beautiful cherry cabinet for it way back when and it just barely fits. Replacing the TV means replacing the furniture, so it can wait a bit.
When we DO decide to replace it, we've (I've) pretty much decided to look into ~42" plasma displays first. Every time I look at TVs I am less impressed with LCD and more impressed with plasma.
A number of years ago, I was firmly ensconced in the "anti-plasma" camp, mainly because of the exhorbitant price premium they carried. Clearly, that's no longer the case.
I don't care about super thin. I don't care about artificial frame creation/boosted refresh rates. I care about picture quality and color fidelity. From what I've seen, plasma wins on those criteria.
