Well, 63% of the population prefer plasma televisions, so there must be a good reason for that (or several good reasons...).

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. The screens are plastic because they 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.

The picture on the plasma is supposed to be the best but they break a lot. If you want the best clarity get the new 1080i or the 1080p, never mind the LCD they are over priced for the quality they give you if you ask me.

LCD is better than plasma, because the plasma screens dont last as long as LCD screens, fact....
