I would go for LCD. I don't know about you guys... but LCD, is my choice. WHY? Because it has a very longer lifetime, and i think it's decent quality.
Coolzrock i dont wanna be rude but i dont think your very aware about the lifespan of new plasmas..lol...first you have a better PQ with plasma and second the life span of newer plasmas over 100,000hrs...why the hell the guy would go for a very poor viewing angle and a less accurate display!...uhh!

LCD's are great displays I have a 40" Sammy wall mounted in my bedroom and love it !! But wanted something different for my main room also not sure if your aware of it or not but the new Plasma's have a life span around 20 years. So anyway lately I've been going threw displays about every few years and up grading so 20 years should be more than enough time to enjoy my new plasma if I dont get up grade-itis in the interim :D
FWIW by the time a plasma reaches half life, most would have bought a new display:D You'll be into FP at that point:p

Hey Gov can you recommend any quick settings I can use for starters ?
Sure....

Custom Mode

Contrast = 73-75
Brightness = 60-62
Color = 38-41
Tint = 0
Sharpness = 0
Color Temp = Warm 1 (Warm 2 after applying service mode tweaks)
Gamma = Mid
Panel Brightness = Mid

Pro W/B settings leave at 0 for now

THX Mode

Leave at the defaults except turn sharpness down to 0 and change Color Temp to Warm 1.

Thanks Gov !!! :) Do you think THX is better for blu-rays ? Or just leave it on either one of your recommendations for everything ?

For the most part, I prefer THX mode in a dark room with bias lighting. Otherwise, I leave it in custom mode all the time.

Go with THX right away!...i did it with my g10 and i didnt regret it..first you will have a more accurate picture and second when you will be use to THX you will not want anything else then that for blu-rays!..;)...it is dimmer but accuracy comes with a dimmer picture!...:D

So, have you put your diapers on yet? Nature will call when you see the thing in your LR.

Well, congratulations on choosing, IMO, the most desirable TV that is currently made in the entire universe (I talk with Martians regularly, and they confirm), at least for anything that is less than 103" in diameter, or $40,000 in price.

Check the materials that came with the TV. My X1 and my dad's S1 came with a microfiber cloth, so I would assume that yours did too.
