Didnt know there was a difference lol. I recently got a 32" HD LCD. Well pleased
with it. But may have to look into a plasma.. Just to dribble over not to buy!

Yeh
Advised on that gadget show that if you going for 40+ you should look into plasma
Better quality on the larger screens

Anything over 32" and you're better off with a plasma IMO. Plasma TVs are alot better for standard definition TV aswell.

plasma is better. form 37" upwards i would go for plasma, better wquality plus higher contrast ratios mean it has broader range of colours...and black is black and white is white. wheras on lcd can be washe dout and grey. also has wider viewing angle, lcds are best viewd from directly in front. also hard screen so more durable, press to much on lcd and you will get dead pixels thus picture quality will decrease. Plasmas will last as long as an lcd nowadays aswell  hope this helps

Yeah as you said the prices are really high, but i suppose its just a matter of time, like when plasmas first came out etc, and they still have months/years to get them to th sizes that people want these days!

yeah most of yor Plasmas are glass fronted too which gives a better picture, one of the drawbacks wth plasma is you can get screen burn which is if you watch the same channel a lot, you could get the channel logo 'imprinted' or burned into the display... but i know some of the new samsungs and LG's haev a screen wipe facility to erase this. O hand plasmas are heavier too so if weight is an isseu go LCD, and im sure LCD's use less energy than Plasma?

screen burn is actually pretty rare you know, and most TV's now slight move the picture so they dont burn and when you turn them of sometimes flash white to get rid of anything or stuff like that!
Suprised nobody has mentioned the bullshit about plasmas and gas, haha that makes me laugh
