After weighing the options of LCD vs. plasma, picture size, price and brand the Toshiba 52HL167 came out on top.  Although I have had it for only 3 weeks, I find it has a bright and true color picture, with numerous inputs and controls for individual customized use (check Toshiba web site for tech info).  Although it does not have the 120 HZ processor (4 msec), I have yet been unable to notice any glitch in fast motion.

On the negative side, the mute has a 1/2 setting before another click turns the sound off and the screen is dark when not receiving an input signal.  This leads to not knowing...
