    Much better black levels on a plasma. Also colours are more vibrant and less motion blurring as well.

    Plasma pisses all over LCD but you can't really get small plasmas and you do pay a lot extra.

    I agree, but you'd better get ready for the LCD backlash like how they've gotten response times down etc etc. :P

    I prefer LCD myself, because if its in any way bright at all you can see a reflection of yourself/room in the Plasma's screen. If it's dark enough, then i don't think that problem exists, though.


    Other than that, i've used plasmas and LCDs and i can't say i've noticed (or cared) about the difference.

    42" screens are great for gaming though, especially with HD, obviously. GTA IV looks great, in my opinion.
