My current TV is getting a bit old now and SWMBO has decreed that we get a new one, although current one is still working well and has a good picture.

Currently we have a 7 year old Hitachi 32" plasma, and an even older Sony amp.

I am thinking this is the time to upgrade everything to HDMI and recon that new TV needs to be 42" definitely don't need bigger.

What other options / features should I be looking when choosing?

Don't do gaming, watch tv through the local equiv of cable TV and do watch a fair bit of downloaded content (due to the rather frustrating local censorship / editing and the overdose of adverbs)

Lots of DVD but not ventured into the world of blue ray yet.

So, over to you, what should be on my requirements list?

other than being skinny, is there any value in an LED over a good LCD / Plasma
