Other than Lausen (I know you've got the 504 model Sony), just saying "a Sony Bravia" doesn't really say anything. There are usually between 10-12 Sony models in any given model year (including the smaller 22-37" sizes). Some Sonys looks pretty decent...some, not so much.
And RPGD, that must be an older set (at least 3 years), as Sony no longer makes anything in a 42" size, AFAIK.
EDIT @ Mora: I've only seen a Pioneer Kuro with my own eyes once, from a distance, at a smaller boutique higher-end electronics store, and my jaw dropped at the black level. I thought I was gonna get sucked into a black hole due to the total absence of light. I didn't even see anything running on it other than a black screen, and I was already in awe.
And my Xbox and Wii are hooked up to the 50" Pioneer Kuro in the basement.
Man, you guys are lucky. For thoses of you who don't know, a Pioneer Kuro is one of the best TVs on the market, even beating out most, if not all, LED TVs.
Twothorp was in immense pain. The blisters did not care.
Well, technically, it's not even on the market any longer, as Pioneer stopped manufacturing plasmas last year.
The ONLY LED I've seen that has anywhere NEAR the black level that I've seen on the Kuro is (surprisingly, really) Sharp's full-array backlit LED (not sure of the model number). The 8000 series Samsung LED looks really nice, but the 6000 and 7000 series are both kinda lacking, IMHO...the 6000 especially. I'm really not a fan.
I needs me a decent plasma at some point so I can say that I own an HD CRT, a DLP, an LCD, and a plasma.
I have a Zenith of about 32" that I obtained used for $50; it is labelled as "flat screen" but is not a true flat screen TV as the ones you can buy at stores today, but merely a higher end digital TV.
I have no PS3 though; I'll wait for the price to drop more before I ever spend money like that on a gaming system(I don't play games as much as I used to anyway).

My mom's 27" RCA TruFlat. Normally it'd be in her room, but since we actually have a basement large enough to have furniture and the like in it, it's there. Mom has my gigantic 25" console TV in the living room.
Lately, I've been using nothing but my Samsung A750 LCD. Still have my Toshiba DLP, but don't use it nearly as much as I used to. Was using my Sony XBR4 for a bit. Now, I only use that one for when I'm doing stuff with EyeCreate on the PS3 (vid capture from a monitor...I roll old school).
I figured everyone had already read about how large my DLP is many, many times because I throw out its size every time a topic about TVs comes up. I had decided not to list the sizes of any of my TVs in this topic, but you've forced my hand, Alzar.
My DLP is 65" (I've got 13" on you...and as an individual with certain...ummm...issues, I don't get to say that very often, either).
My Samsung A750 is 46". Both of these are hooked up to my setup in high def simultaneously...meaning, I can have the PS3 on both at 1080p, or the PS3 on one and the 360 on the other in high def. Both are being routed out of my 7.3 Pioneer/Boston Acoustics setup to an HDMI splitter (two splitters, actually).
My Sony XBR4 is the high end 32" from the 2007 model year. I only use this right now for captures via the Playstation Eye camera.
Also have a 30" Samsung high def CRT in the bedroom that I've not turned on in two years.
Just to point out, I paid nowhere NEAR retail price for any of the above.
