Big screens for big minds
Plasma TVs are pretty cool, because they're a lot brighter than projection and LCD panels. You do have to deal with some noise and burnin (they're life span is measured in hours), but they're big, and getting bigger.

At first there were 42" and 50" displays. A 50" is pretty nice, and they can support 1280x720; but then came the 60" which seemed enormous. Well, it was enormous until Samsung showed off
an 80" plasma display.
Of course the price is a little steep: $45,000. So lets see, I could buy a new lexus, or get a plasma screen the size of an area rug. There's a 70" too that's only $36,500 (still far outside of my budget). Decisions decisions.
