i would think plasma at that size and 720 vs 1080 depends how far away your sat.

Chart to help you decide, seems 720 would be best suited unless you move closer you wont get much benifit with 1080. If there is no price difference then it doesnt matter.

I sit 4 ft away from a 26" which is 720 and its perfect.

i have a 50" plasma,1080 samsung,, got it in currys it a sieries 6 if i remember correctly.
But i sit about 12ft away , occasionaly 6ft but you wouldnt want to be on top of it.
I have a 37" in the other room , thats an LG lcd1080 and i couldnt tell the difference between the 2 picture qualitys.both good , i think it is possible to go over the top as they are all good these days if you ask me
