Buying a new HDTV need help

Hi, I'm looking at buying an HDTV on black friday or earlier or later depending on what I'm looking for. Here's what I want:
1080p
37" or larger
LCD or possibly plasma
$1,000 more or less

I'm open to any brands and size could vary. I sit about 7-8 feet away (2.5 meters), and I play PS3 for at least 4-5 hours a day and 8-10 on weekends when I don't work. I also watch a lot of blu-rays.

Any suggestions or testimonials would be great.
Thanks,
Alex

 

Sorry, didn't read stickies, will read reviews on my own time. Please close, mod.

 

just some heads up,..

If you play video games much, I don't think plasma is the way to go because of "burn in".
