New TV advice for me

Nice response, Jeff! After watching a 58" Panny S2 plasma for about 3 weeks now, I must say that the picture stomps our 42" Sharp Aquos LCD set. When I watch the LCD set now it looks a little washed out due to inferior contrast and grayish black levels compared to the plasma. I don't know if it is possible, but maybe try to work out an in-home trial comparing the plasma vs. LED-LCD. Plus, I watched "9" on Bluray in 24p, which the Sharp could not do, so that may have further improved the picture.

Well...Costco has the 90 day no question return, and a one of the warehouses near me has both(they did last week) the 54G20 and the Vizio 553.

Well that is a great deal go with the G20.
Curtis make sure the build date is 2010. The G20 had some reported black issues in 2009 builds that where corrected in 2010.

Thanks Ed.
The better the blacks the better the picture for sure. There are shootouts held for TV's just none around here but plasma's still win. When you get over 150 hours on the Panny you should let me work some magic on it!

The new G20/G25 plasmas have much better anti-reflective screens.
I don't see any reflections on my 50" G25 and that's in a room where I would see reflections on a 5 year old rear-LCD with one of those icky silk-screen-effect-inducing anti-reflective screens.

That's pretty much my situation.
