Modern day plasmas dont have the same burn-in issues as they used to (quality plasmas that is). Thats not a great deal on the 60" for a CCFL. BestBuy just had a sharp 60" LED for 1099. But the deals dead. If your not in a rush, prices will come down even more after BF. There some decent 55" LG 3D LED, bluray and 3D glasses for 1099 at wally world. When you get into the larger panels, Id try to get true back-lit LEDs instead of edge, since you might encounter bright edges in your darks.
