I've just had the same agonising decision to make.
Although it was ony agonising once i'd told the misses to expect a big parcel, lol
I went for a Toshiba 42x3030 which I got for £700 inc delivery to the Isle of Man, a bargain!

They're a popular choice yes but I expect because their prices are so good. I have the 26" Sammy and am very happy with it but some issues annoy me with it.
I'd seek reviews on google for the best gaming TV's.
Nope, very average.
Put your pennies towards a plasma like the Panasonic PX70 or better the new PX80 42inch set. Best value tvs out there, and the PQ on them is excellent, and the closest to the Pioneer kuro that is the best tv on the market.
Don't bother with 1080p sets (e.g. panasoninc PZ range) unless you sit less than 6ft from a 42inch set, or less than 8ft from a 50inch set. You won't be able to notice a difference.

I know this is bucking the trend but Id say prob not, atm the tech in tv is getting better and better all the time. Id wait for the OLED stuff unless your really unhappy with your TV.
Well no its a good tv, so whats OLED??
OLED is not going to become mainstream for quite a while yet considering the hefty price tag it carries for such small sets.

I wouldn't recommend a plasma unless your main use would be watching movies. LCD's are much better when it comes to gaming.
Take a look at the Toshiba 42X and 42Z series.

Using a Samsung LE40F86 here.
25000:1 contrast ratio, 100hz, 1080p and all the usual bits. Is a bit pricey compared to other makes but you get what you pay for. The xbox and Wii looks stunning on it. Especially the blacks.
