Don't go for the cheaper and technologically inferior product, that is a very HD-DVD thing to do

Seriously though, the XBR4 is a very nice set. I'd save up for that one!

I highly recommend XBR3+ series. You will not be disappointed with the picture at all.

Save for the xbr4.

1080p/24
HDmi 1.3
120mhz

You do not want to buy a tv just to be feeling the need to upgrade soon after.
Save a little longer and get a tv that will last you a while.

I would go with the plasma, but then I'm biased - I have the 50" version of the panny. I suggest you read some independent rveiews. CNET's reviews of the Sony XBR:
"Although not quite as impressive as the best plasmas, the 46-inch Sony KDL-46XBR4 outperforms any flat-panel LCD we've tested so far."

I dont think you will be disapointed with either one. My borther has the 50 and I have the 42 panny televisons and they are very nice sets so you really have to look at each one and see if one offers one the other does not.

I just bought a Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Plasma for my father, it sure is a great set, I got a great deal but not as great as you can get though.

I had been debating about getting myself a new Sony KDL-40XBR4 or the Samsung LN-T4071F but decided he deserved a new HDTV so I put off my purchase for a while longer. Either way I don't think you will be going wrong though I doubt you'll be able to get a 40XBR4 for $700 but on the other hand I wouldn't have thought anyone could get the 42PZ700U for $700 either!
