Still weighing the pros & cons before buying. Any info would be welcome especially - actually how much more power consumption a plasma uses over a LCD, does the picture on a Plasma become dimmer over the years and LCD motion blur - is there any blur on Plasma? Durability - which has longer life and more likely to be able to be repaired or tossed to the curb? (Also 1080p or 720p - can you really tell the difference at this size? Would it make any difference if using a blue ray player? Are cable or satallite only 1080i? Would an upscale DVD player be sufficiant?) Just watch Movies & Sports, not a gamer.

Thanks for any info or opnions.
