I need help deciding on a new TV

Why is everyone moving to LCD? If you are really picky about picture quality and detail, then get a plasma. They do give you a better picture: faster refresh rate (no blur), loads better and more accurate color (more detail), 1080p available (just as sharp as LCD), usually cheaper (unless looking at 1080p sets, then they are the same). Panasonic makes a great 50" plasma, they also have a 42". They may give you some glare/reflection if your room has lots of windows. Don't worry about burn-in as much these days, it is becoming more rare. And it is rated at 100,000 hours, which is 42.5 years at 6.5 hours per day. Think about it.
