My 2 cents.. I have a 42 panasonic 600hz 1080p tv.. I paid 700 or so for a year ago.. To get close to the same picture out of an LCD I would have been looking at 120hz samsung panels and would have spent 400-500 more.. LCD took a step in the right direction with led backlighting because they can disable back lighting over black images to create a closer to true black look.. If you look at the tv wall at any store wait for a dark image.. You can pick out the plasma tv's from a distance because black is actually black instead of gray. The only time I would buy an LCD over a plasma is in a screen smaller than 42" or in a room wear glare off a glass panel would be to difficult to manage..

I'm no expert but I sold them for a couple years..
I also did not buy the warranty on the plasma.. But If I had gotten an LCD I would have.. The majority of our service issues were on LCD panels..
