We won a 51" Samsung plasma at an auction last year. Completed the low-end Pioneer 7.1 (towers in the front) via several deals at newegg, and then got a cheapish Onkyo receiver with some nice networking support. I'm pretty pleased with the setup all in all.
And that plasma is just 720p, but I can't say it makes a bit of difference. I love the black levels and colors on these things. Viewing distance is 7, maybe 8ft away, but it's still quite nice if not overwhelming (that's what the sound is for...)
