As far as my research, it's all leaning towards the plasma. Any thoughts or comments on this?

At 50", I would get a TV with 1080 resolution because I can notice the difference. If you have an HHGregg in your area go there and ask them to hook up a bluray to the two TVs you are looking at and see if you care about the difference in resolution. HHGregg employees get paid commision, so if you puch hard enough, or make them beleive you are definitely going to buy a TV, they will help you any way they can.

If you are comparing them at Best Buy, Walmart, BJs or other places like that... From what I have seen, their advertisement feeds running in HD all seem to be at 720 so it doesn't look like there is a difference from one TV to the next.

You really need to see a Blu-Ray being played to see the difference.
