The definitive HDTV buyer's guide?

here's a good site: http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/
here's another (the best one for ALL tech reviews, in my opinion): http://www.cnet.com

I have the Panasonic TH-42PX60U Plasma and I couldn't recommend it enough. Setup is a cinch, HD picture is absolutely gorgeous (deep blacks, bright colors... just phenomenal), connectivity is great (2 HDMI ports), and it's so light and thin.

as for the image retention issue - i don't have any problems with it on this model at all.
