Flat screens?


Folks: I know next to nothing about flat-screen T.V.'s (or what is on T.V., for that matter). What flat-screen T.V. technology currently represents (i) the best picture quality, (ii) the highest reliability, and (iii) the lowest maintenance? Feel free to offer names of brands and what I should expect to pay for one that is approximately 40 inches x 30 inches. It would be used for watching baseball (me) and movies (my wife) in a non-home theater set-up (just straight T.V.) Thanks to all.

Folks: One last question: what are the typical discounts that dealers offer on good plasmas, for example, assume a 42" plasma that lists for $3,000? Assume further that I would go to a good home theater / two-channel dealer (I would not buy from a large chain like Circuit City). Obviously, discounts vary depending upon the product and the dealer, but is there any rule of thumb like the 10% that brick & mortar stores often do for 2-channel?

Thanks
