I didn't know this was still a debate. Plasma looks better than LCD but suffered reliability issue in exchange. LED is in simple terms LCD that can output the darks that plasma can, so best of both worlds. Not all LEDs are the same though, OLED is great, figure out the difference between edge lit and backlit because one is better, edge lit I believe?

Backlit LED LCDs are better than Edge-lit.

It's up for debate because despite the huge advancements in quality that LED backlighting provides over traditional LCD displays, plasmas are still widely regarded among the experts as having better picture quality.

OP:  Check out this link and do your own research on this site; these guys know their shit and have done extensive testing on these TVs with a variety of content and in multiple lighting conditions.

One test I read about in particular a while back was a movie with a space scene.  Watching it on an LED backlit LCD offered good black levels, but when lighting bright images in dark scenes, such as stars in space for example, it resulted in an odd halo effect around the stars that's not present in the same scene on a plasma, where it looked flawless... and many stars were hardly even visible on the LED, whereas the plasma had everything visible in better detail.

Bottom line:  Go with whatever suits you best.  It's true that plasmas heat up a smaller room fast (which sucks), but for the best picture quality, be it movies or games, they're the better choice.  Picking among the top models of either tech, though, will result in a great TV.

so do you think i should go for this TV? Or a cheaper Plasma alternative ?
