I was in the same position a year ago but once I figured out what size, type (plasma vs. lcd) and how much I was really willing to spend, it was a little easier to make a choice. I ended up buying a Panasonic 42" plasma.
An important factor to also consider is your viewing distance, whether you also wish to take advantage of 1080p resolution with your video gaming system and a HD/BlueRay DVD player and what type (HD vs. regular cable) of tv programming you watch.
I was actually researching 32"-37" LCDs earlier this week and the Panasonic 32" LCD received good marks in last month's Consumer Reports. Other seems to like the LG version, which is on sale right now. You can get specs on both sets on FS and BB' site. Some swear by Samsung's new line of LCD displays.
If the big box stores are not to your liking, you might want to visit Star Electronics on 845 Queensway in Toronto. I purchased my set from them last year, beat the best price I could find and great service. They offer Sony, Samsung and Panny so you can at least compare a few sets.
I must have spent over two hours watching various sources (DVD, regular TV cable and HD cable feeds) when I purchased my set last year.
One more thing, is space is not an issue....the bigger the better, it seems.
