I have a playstation 3, was just wondering what is the best Tv to purchase at this point for a playstation 3. is crt still the way to go or is lcd or plasma better? im thinking anything above 30" and staying under $2000.00 as much as possible is where i want to be

*****PS: Have you ever thought of a HD projector?*****

Google it

Some of the new LED lit DLP TVs are pretty nice and are considerably cheaper than LCD and Plasma for the size, but are still capable of 1080p.

I think just the first person to respond was from the UK, as I'm from the U.S. One of the TVs I use for my PS3 and 360 is a 65" 1080p Toshiba DLP I got for maybe $1400 about a year ago. While it's not a perfect TV, it handles resolutions lower than 1080p very well. The colors are pretty nice, and it generally seems to be pretty good overall. My DLP is a year old, so it is not LED back lit and suffers from screen glare during the daytime(my entertainment room has WAY too many windows), so I often play games on my smaller 1080p LCD during the day. Since you're likely using your PS3 to play games, I can tell you that most games don't support 1080p, and some won't even upscale it so having a TV that handles lower resolutions well is important. One game in particular looks noticeably worse on my LCD due to a grain filter the game has (and it can't be turned off) is Siren: Blood Curse but on the DLP it's barely noticeable. Between Plasma and LCD, I'd get LCD even though people often claim Plasma has higher quality black values. The price difference and maintenance free aspect of LCD makes it the better choice, and if you get a good LCD that's 120Hz and has a very high contrast ratio, I'm sure you'll be quite happy. Also, don't fall for the "dynamic contrast ratio" marketing bs, as some displays I've seen have noticeable lag when trying to changing the contrast automatically.

Edit: If you're going for 30-40" LCD is definitely the best for you. LCD has become relatively cheap and has improved tremendously over the years.

I wouldn't say one is really better than the other. DLP is typically used only in screens larger than 50" and is considerably cheaper than LCD at this size. One issue with DLP sets is the fact that they are much thicker than the typical LCD display. Colors, response times, and contrast ratios are usually pretty good on DLP(although not as good as Plasma) but LCD has gotten pretty good as of recent too. Sony, Samsung, LG, Sharp, and Pioneer are usually pretty good to my knowledge. I'd avoid Toshiba as I've heard many cases of their TVs dying after 1 year. I purchased one of their DLPs about a year ago and the bulb died within the first week, so I quickly replaced it and it has been fine since. I also purchased the 32" Toshiba Regza 1080p with Cinespeed recently and have been very disappointed with some pretty bad ghosting in games. I'm currently waiting for a response from Toshiba, otherwise this thing is going back to newegg. It's a shame too because the colors look great, it has a good contrast ratio, as well as a ton of inputs.

Samsung LE40A750 is good VFM!
