Warning: This is a warning you are not gonna get from the dealers or the manufactures. LCDs have very fragile, very breakable PLASTIC screens. Screens because there are two. The "inner" screen of my 7 mos. old Sony Bravia 42" is broken. Broken by a 34 lb., 3year old throwing an empty plastic cup. Plastic because it can be and it prevents the screen from being reflective. It also makes them CHEAPER to make. No warranty, no repair. If you have children or children visit, do not buy LCDs.
Plasma have a glass screen like all other TVs except LCDs. Both are cheap to operate depending on where you live: 3-41/2 cents/hour for plasma and 2-3 cent/hour for LCD.
Plasma is better 42" or larger and in dark rooms or basements and for viewing sports. Most plasma brands also have anti-glare coatings. When I can get another $2000 together I will get plasma.
Plasma DOES NOT have "HUGE BURN-IN PROBLEMS" That is not true at all.

LCD because some plasmas have very reflective screens and would be boring to watch in a very bright room. LCD's don't have this problem a good thing. Plus Plasmas will wiegh twice as much as LCD's and use up to 3 times more power. and if youre a football fan Plasmas have huge burn in problems. plus if you get an LCD you can get 120 hz motion prosseser in them which will make moving images look so much more real. LCD's have a longer life expectancy too and are cheaper to fix. and no LCD's cost a little bit more unless youre comparing them with pioneer wich cost over the hook
Id reccomend sony for LCD and Panasonic for Plasma

which TV u wanna buy depends much more on the size u wanna buy, If u r goin a TV larger than 29in u should go for a Plasma TV , n for less than 29in u should consider LCDs.
accordin to reports there is no clear winner in picture quality.
the only drawback for LCDs is that there is difficulty viewin when not sittin in front of the TV(better suited for rooms with the couch in front of the TV rather than at right angles to it)

Its a misconception that plasmas are more expensive, they are not.
