THe TV arguments could go forever! haha!
I have plasma. Subject to burn-in, however has been overexatterated over the years! I have no problems with mine. However, if you pause your games alot and leave the tv on, plamsa or rear projection would not be a good idea. (i'm sure that will be agrued!)
LCD is great for gamers, becuase of the lack of burn in issues, however LCD has a lower contrast ratio than plasmas, although this has gotten alot better in your higher end LCD's! (i'm sure that will be argued!)
Rear projections has bulbs that can burn out and need replacement, around $300 i've heard. But are user replaceable (i'm sure that will be agrued!)
And then there's the old reliable CRT's!........ha! I'm not going there!


PS3 good.
Blu-ray good.
TV...in the end...do some research (here and other places..like google)and go with your gut feeling. There will ALWAYS be a better TV somewhere, you have to go with what you want. Major features to look for: HDMI (at least 2 ports), 1080P preferably, 1080i is ok also. contrast ratio of at least
7000:1 <----preference
Try this link. It's pretty informative about the different technologies available:
