Re: Which HDTV set should I get

look for sets with a resolution of 1280 * 720 or 1366 * 768 unless you want to go for a 1080p set which are more expensive.

also plasma's (cheaper ones) can suffer from screen burn when there are static images on screen (e.g channel logo's in corners of screen) although this is less common now you need to look into this before you buy.
Burn in is not too much of an issue with modern plasmas. This one has a life expectancy also similar to lcd. 60,000 hrs which is 5 hrs per day for 27 years.

It will be connected to sky sd and a pc outputting 1024*768, in fact the pc it will be connected to will get a hdmi gfx card connected to it as its only used as a pvr.
