SD and Footy?

Plasma, simple.

Top of the range LCD can possibly compete.

I suspect you already know that though.

Hi

I would recommend an LCD Tv afterall they are known to last longer than a plasma i know people who have bought plasmas and they have been lucky to get six months out of one before having to call the manufacturer

Not true.
Plasmas have a half life of 60,000 hours.
I've had my plasma for nearly two years, without a hitch.
I bet you think all plasmas get screenburn too

Oh, and what about the amount of people who complain about dead pixels on their brand new LCD?.
Or doesn't that count?

Just to keep things balanced

I can recommend the Sony Bravia 40W2000, also recommended by which.com. Just watched the Malaysian GP and no ghosting or anything, works great with my PS3 and VirginMedia HD.

I don't know any LCDs that can compete with the Panasonic PF9 or Fujitsu 58 series plasmas.

Unless you use it mainly for PC work or during the day under bright sunlight, I would always recommend a plasma at 37" or more.
