I've done a ton of reading about flat panels and when I have the money to get one I'm definitely going with plasma over LCD.
We are looking into purchasing an HDTV but would like some input from people who might know something about them.
From the little research I have done, we first have to decide between plasma and LCD. Then we go from there.
We would like to put it in our bedroom, wall mounted on a pivot arm (weight will be an issue) and we will want to watch it from bed or from the sofa. From either place, the viewing distance will be about 10-12 feet. I don't plan on getting HDTV service, but likely will spring for a blu-ray at some point.
Thoughts?

You'd be making a mistake. LCD is better picture, and yes, the problems with plasma TV's are the reason people are not buying them.
LED is the best you can get, though. Pricier, but it's worth it if you can afford it.
Sony BRAVIA is my preferred brand, but they don't make an LED yet. But Samsung makes a good LED. Avoid Vizio. I have one, and it sucks. I'm looking to replace it after the holidays when prices are down.
#1 - Don't buy a plasma TV
#2 - The only two brands you should consider buying are Samsung and LG
#3 - If you buy over 32" you should buy 1080i instead of 720
Best Buy has a lot of great deals right now on HDTV's.
What is wrong with plasma?

buy a projector. They last longer, have true HD and can expand to practically any size. I have the Panasonic AE-700U with a custom Daylite Screen. My "big screen" is really big - it is 11 ft wide and 7 ft tall. Don't limit yourself, go big , get a projector!!We are looking into purchasing an HDTV but would like some input from people who might know something about them.

------------------------------------I just bought this: Sony - BRAVIA / 52" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV - KDL-52V5100
a c ouple weeks ago. the picture is nothing short of amazing. planet earth on it is insane. it can be wall mounted with an additional kit they sell.
about blu ray - get a ps3. it plays blu ray perfectly and if you have netflix you can stream directly to the ps3 for free using a disc they will mail you.

Bedroom dark or light?
Dark -- Plasma is better
Light -- LCD
In either case, go with the Samsung 120 MHrtz with the highest contrast ratio you can get. Also, the glassed front really makes the picture pop.
I have an Olivia 46" in My bedroom and it does alright. Got it on sale at Target for 425 dollars on black Friday two years back.
I purchased My 52" Samsung from Circuit City a year ago and I have to say, I simply love the damned thing. Not a lick of problems, picture quality is OUT-fucking-STANDING!
Did I mention I recommend the Samsung?
