stay away from rear projections in my experience mate, plasmas rock!!
The only downside is image burn on the screen, saying that though i've had my plasma for 4 years and i play pro evo on the playstation a LOT and its barely noticable.

Main problem with rear projection is that if you move higher or lower when watching it the brightness changes - try it in the shop - not good if you keep fidgiting

Any reason why you're not looking at LCD?

I had a rear projection 42 inch wide screen toshiba , good telly , just got hold of a 47 inch wide screen lcd toshiba a couple of weeks ago , paid £1800 for the tv from curry s and £150 for the stand , i forgot about the price match , were dixon s was doing the telly for £1560 the stand was half price £150 , heard that sony have dropped the plasma s for the lcd market . I would go for the lcd tv , but read up on the hows and whats first, plasma s are comming down in price the future is lcd s .
