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.

Answer 3

I'm not a fan of DLP. The pictures always seem grainer and dimmer than Plasma or LCD when compared side by side. Plus if you go to far off center in viewing, the picture quality and brightness go way down.

Between LCD and plasma, it depends more on the environment. LCDs are better for more brightly lit rooms, especially if a light or sunny window may cause reflections while viewing. Look at your room to see where things are and where the TV will go.

Plasmas tend to have a warmer color to them, more pleasing to the eye, and are cheaper, but show glare and bright reflections more.

Lastly, LCDs are more prone to damage if you have any rambunctious children.

Answer 4

Home Theater magazine in the December issue reviewed the Pioneer Kuro plasma TV and came close to declaring it the best display to date.

Answer 5

JVC DILA is the latest and greatest standard out there. Limited numbers of these exist because it is so new.
