From what I've read, both types are getting better.....

Plasma better on fast motion, but new 120hz LCD's improve to match

Plasma better on angled viewing, but new LCD's are matching that also

LCD better for screen life, but Plasmas improving

From my observations the Plasma picture is a bit better, but all are nicer than what I have at home.

LCD won't have burnin issues with games

LCD pricing may be better, particularly under 50"

Your video source will probably be more important, such as an upconverting DVD player or cable/sat.

Shop around and see. The good news is there are a lot of good choices now. Good luck
