probably 1080...bu ti heard the difference is very minimal at the ranges i sit at.....and probably LCD... giftcards are the visa ones, usable anywhere.
Are you adverse to buying online? I bought my tv in-store @ Costco in early December as they add longer on the warranty.
cant do split transactions online...so i cant have them charge me 3 times to burn up the gift cards first before using my credit card...which is why im looking to buy in store
The popular brands are Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, LG, Toshiba, Vizio and probably one or two others I'm missing. In general if it's a brand you've never heard of or a brand that is only sold at one store it's a gamble on quality.

The Vizio sets at Costco are about as good a deal as you'll find anywhere, especially with their included warranty extension. I'm not sure if you'll be able to use your gift cards at Costco, you might want to call first, they only accept debit cards or american express or cash/check for payment.
Panasonic 42" plasma- will likely be 720p at this price.
Costco has a 42" Panasonic plasma for $480, it's only 720p. They sell a Toshiba 40" LCD that has 1080p 60hz for the same price, or for $20 more there's a Vizio 37" 1080p 120hz. It's your call, do you want higher numbers on the screen size or higher numbers on the resolution or higher numbers on the refresh rate. I can't personally see any difference between 1080p and 720p on a set this size, I have a hard time seeing any difference between 60hz and 120hz on televisions setup side by side, when one or the other is by itself in my living room I see even less difference.
You have it sitting on top of a receiver - aren't the vent holes for receivers generally on the top?
How do you put CDs\DVDs in your computer?
Could have gotten a 120hz Panny from Amazon today.
But if he'd done that he wouldn't have it today, and he wouldn't have a 2 year warranty and he wouldn't have a brick and mortar store to return it to without shipping costs if there is a problem. There's always a better deal you find the day after you make a big purchase, if you delay the purchase because a better deal might come along tomorrow you'll always be waiting on another tomorrow.
I bought my TV then let it sit in the living room still in the box for 3 days before I opened the box just to make sure I didn't find a better deal, which I did, but it wasn't a good enough deal to make it worth returning the television and buying another.
The point of 120hz is to watch with interpolation *off* so you get perfect 5:5 with movies.me and my gf looked at the 120hz versions but the soap opera effect really bugged the hell out of us movies didnt look like movies
