Plasma - IMHO, stay away. They have longevity issues, burn in, etc. Not a good technology
LCD - You have a choice of backlight, LED is preferable, but much more expensive than fluorescent.
AFAIK, 120hz is all about the LCD being 3D Capable (Utterly Useless). No video format uses more than 60FPS, and most are 30FPS. Cinema is 24FPS. 120hz provides the overhead to display a different image to each eye, at 60fps.
DLP - don't count out DLP rear projection if you have room, excellent picture quality (higher contrast ratio than other tech), inexpensive, but not picture-frame thin.
Size - If you want full 1080p, don't go smaller than 40" or so. Also keep in mind viewing distances. You don't want to sit right up close to a huge TV. 720p is a night-and-day difference from standard (now known as 480i), the step up to 1080p is minor in comparison. That said, 1080p is still just two megapixel, hardly "high definition" by today's photography standards.
