What is better? LCD or plasma?

I think that's sort of asking like what's better -- blonde or brunette... I belive you will find Plasmas overall have a better black level than LCDs and render standard definition images better than LCDs do.  Plasmas are somewhat prone to burn-in but the newer sets seem to be very good about avoiding the issue.  LCDs don't have any burn-in issues but black levels aren't as good unless you get a better set.  I don't think you can go wrong either way but I went 1080P LCD because I want to use it regularly as a computer monitor and burn-in concerned me since the images are quite static on the applications I'll be running.

 

here's a good primer for you
