Personally, I think plasmas are a bad choice and LCD has too slow of a

dark from a side, or when sitting on the floor. A projector and

give much better results for view angle.
Save your money for OLED, prolly one to two years away but I'm
guessing with all the money dumped into the TFT Fabs the same
companies are gonna keep the price point high on the OLEDs. The nice
thing about them however is they are an active device so they control
the light emitted (almost 100% energy efficient too so low on heat)
rather than filtering it like LCD so you get incredible viewing angles
and fantastic contrast (I think they were saying something like 5000:1
for contrast and a brightness of 600 nits). Its also pretty fast and
super thin. Once they get these babies lasting 30000 hrs plus I don't
think there'll be much to compete. In fact I might have seen the link
here talking about Samsung getting ready to release a 40" or 50" model
thats 3" deep!
Lifetime is still a problem with OLED, The O stands for organic. It
breaks down in the presence of UV light, and deteriorates with heat.
They have made some big gains in lifetime recently, 5 years ago they
were measuring lifetime in 10's of hours.
The process to make the OLED is basically a printing process, and
promises to be much much cheaper in the long run then manufacturing LED.
Makers are planning on thin replaceable screens that you can get for not
too much money (i hope) that you replace every few years. The materials
that go into a 60" screen will eventually be cheaper then the refined
quartz in projector bulbs.
