In that case, plasma might not be a bad option for you. It has improved black levels and lifespan shouldn't be a concern if you don't plan on keeping it that long. LCD has a lot of issues, color quality and black level being the worst of them. The big advantages of LCD don't seem to be of much help to you (brightness, life, resolution, size, weight).
If you do opt for a 720p set, make sure that it deinterlaces 1080i properly. I have a few sites that list models at home so if you have a set in mind, I can look it up for you (just bought a new HDTV after about four months of research).
BTW, I love how half the people here recommend a brand without actually asking what the hell the OP needs from the TV. There's a big "Just buy what I bought!" mentality around here.
