On of the factors that needs to considered is where the TV is being placed, in my case main floor, lots of windows family room. Found the somewhat matt screen of the LCD better than the gloss plasma for reducing glare and reflections.

A very good Canadian site is digitalhome.ca
This will give you user reviews and comments rather than columnist and magazine reviews. It is very similar to avsforums but it has Canadian prices, model numbers and hot deals at Canadian retailers. One forum to check out is the OTA (Over the air). Current TV's have ASTC tuners which will allow you to get digital HDTV signals. In Vancouver a pair of Rabbit Ears and a view of Mt Seymour will get you CBC and CTV and in the spring Global. If you have an unobstructed view south and an outside antenna you may be able to get the Seattle stations. OTA blows satellite and cable out the water for picture quality. It is the full uncompressed signal. Most retailers do not show how good OTA is but instead show a compressed Expressvu signal. Shaw has fewer HD channels because they compress the signal even more. The nice thing about OTA is that it is free and your TV is probably capable right now. There is no HD OTA in Calgary or Edmonton right now. Plasmas are getting cheaper right now but it appears the LCD flat panels are taking the sales lead and have dropped prices even more.
