3) How large is the room that you'll be placing this TV?
[3] I can't give you exact numbers now, but it's like 4m by 5m, total of around 20 square meters. I'm sitting at aroung 3,5m in front of (the future) TV Set. I'll post some more specific measures once I get home.
Well, now I can give you a more precise number (although not perfect). My living rooms measures about 7m by 4,5m, for a total of about 31,5 square meters. I'm sitting in a couch looking to my - future - TV set at about 3,5m (across the 4,5m side).

Unless you're into the status symbol of owning a plasma television, my recommendation is stay away from them for this generation.
Because of some bad information, I was thinking that Plasma were the best viewing system around, now with some help from all of you, I'm more pending to a DLP system, that LG just looks beautifull.

b4u, the Sony set that you linked to is Sony's LCD RPTV. I too was considering that set, however when you compare it to the Samsung DLP sets, I think that the Sony's are inferior. However, as mentioned before, Sony is coming out with a new LCD RPTV in September which is supposed to have better black levels and a lower price tag. I think the 50" is going to retail for USD 3000. I suggest you take a look at Samsung's DLP sets, though not perfect, I think they will fit your needs.
Well, I like the size of that Sony, but since it's an LCD RPTV,
and given his price tag, I'll probably just pass it ... but I'll look into the Samsung models to see what they've got ... any model recommendation from your side ?

DLP is one of the best emerging technologies. However, current single-chip DLP units can exhibit rainbow problems (rainbow "halos" around fast moving objects in high contrast) and cause eye fatigue for some viewers. Three-chip DLP units are available but prohibitively expensive.
The most promising system thus far is LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon). Prices on this are coming down rapidly and both Sony and Pioneer already have TVs using this technology that are getting rave reviews.
Now that I was looking forward to DLP, down cames this "rainbow halos"! Oh well, there's no perfect technology ... or else there wouldn't exist all these choices around ...
Can you point me to some LCoS models?
