As a general rule, Plasma does large screens better than LCD.
If you want a small TV for your kitchen or bedroom (35cms) then you have to go with LCD.
Plasma beats LCD on colour quality hands down, and is the superiour technology for large screen tvs.

If you are looking for a ranking of what is the best: LCD vs. DLP, here's the pros and cons:
1. DLP front projection provides the biggest bang for the buck. The only downside is possible viewer sensitivity to the "rainbow" effect which is greatly lessened with 4X+ [speed] color wheels. If brightness is a major consideration, stay with the older 480i/p configuration since the higher 1040+ Dark 3 chips greatly lower the final lumens output. Also be very careful when shutting down the projector and allow some 20 minutes for the fan to cool down the bulb and associated color wheel. Failure to properly cool down DLP's is the major reason for shortened lamp life. A typical bulb will cost between $300 - $400 and last some 4,000 hours.
2. LCD front projectors have been around for some time and the "screen door" effect has been greatly reduced, if not eliminated. Unfortunately, there's the issue of LCD panel fade since many LCD projectors still rely on 'organic' based panels which will fade over time, especially the blue panel. Look for the new "inorganic" LCD panels to correct this fading issue. Still the "blackness" background of LCD projectors do not come up to the better movie-like blacks generated by DLPs.
And finally, is there truly a best buy budget DLP projector? Check out at Amazon.com, the Infocus SP4805 for some $550 [refurbished] which produces a 350 lumens, 92" diagonal screen picture with the WOW effect. And the world-famous Faroudja deinterlacer and built-in speaker adds true value to this home-theater projector.
Good luck!

Both have major problems. LCDs lose pixels and Plasmas burn in. ~
I would only go for a LED backlit DLP TV 1080p.
