Alright, a few tips and pointers as I've been looking into this a LOT lately.
First of all, Sharp has a new line of LCDs that offer 42", 46" and 52" called the D62U line. The 42" can be had for <$2000, a great price for a 1080p LCD.
As for the LCD viewing angle, Sharp's is one of the best. They compare well to MOST brands Plasma TVs, which is quite a feat for LCDs. The D62U line also features 2 HDMI inputs (as well as a couple of component and a composite). The picture quality is top-notch and makes it even more worth the $2000 price tag (which is cheap anyway, but doubly so for what you get).
I like the DLP cost-to-size ratio, but in the end, the Aquos won the day. I take delivery of mine on Wednesday and can answer more then if you might be swayed to LCD. My TV is primarily used for DVD movies and gaming on my 360.

While burn-in is LESS likely on modern plasmas, it's still very possible. If you watch a lot of ESPN, it'll happen since the score banners are almost always in the same place. Burn in won't happen on a DLP or LCD screen. Plasmas still use phosphorous elements just like CRTs, but are light by "glowing" plasma cells rather than the ray-gun. Phosphor burns in regardless of it's light source.
