LCD is the superior technology. Eventually plasma will be completely on the way out.

Not to mention that you have to have your plasma recharged with gas every couple of years. Just ask the "experts" at Best Buy.

LCD is pretty good, but I predict that LED will be king in just a few years. LED has all the advantages of plasma with little to no hazardous waste (and LCD production currently involves fluorocarbon emissions).

LCD tends to be cheaper. Got my 32 inch Toshiba at Fry's for $299. I could care less about the TV tuner in it since I use it as a computer monitor.

Check out the new LED DLP models too. They're pretty inexpensive and the picture is great. My dad got a Samsung 65 or 67" (cant remember which) for about $1200.
