I just had one of these installed: http://www.hometheatermag.com/plasma...ioneerpdp5070/
(It's actually the 5071, which is the same thing, but I think Best Buy created a new nomenclature so that it would not have to price match).

I didn't have much time to research the TV (only about 90 minutes - new baby, work killing me, bought on Christmas Eve, etc...). We got some $600 flexo-wall mount too. Put it up about 4 ft high in a corner. If they make better 50-inch wall-mounted TVs, I'd believe it, but I'd be amazed. It's awesome. Picture on DVDs or HD is unbelievable. My wife and I will never go to the theater again.

That being said, these guys say that DLP does better than Plasma above 6,500 ft: http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/dlpvsplasmatv.html
