Panasonic Plasmas are the best put the smallest size for a Plasma would be 42 inch. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0121047&catid=
Samsung would be #2 and is available in 40 inch sizes for LCD's.

I'm running a 37" Vizio 1080P 120hz panel. I would've gone bigger, but 37 was the biggest I could fit without rolling my back windows down, on the drive back from California. I didn't want to take it out of the box, either.
Vizio's worth looking into. I was at Costco, Frys, Microcenter, etc. while I was on vacation, and I looked at the various displays in terms of colour reproduction, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. and Vizio was actually better than the Panasonic LCD, and had nicer tones than the Samsung it was beside, when I was looking.
If you've got a Costco membership, give them a look, since you get the extra year warranty free.
