I bought a 42" plasma a while ago and love the picture. This was before the LCD's became well known. It's great for movies and regular programming, but I was told you can get "burn in" on the screen if you watch a lot of sports (because of the fixed scoreboard info on the top of the screen). I have yet to notice any of this and I watch a lot of baseball and football on it. The hi def programming on cable is exceptional and the regular digital programming is about as good as on my regular non hi def t.v. The best thing I have noticed is that the picture is great from side angles. All that being said, I would probably go with LCD for my next one because of the advancements they have made since I bought my set. Whatever you decide on, do a lot of research and don't base your decision on what you see in the store. The picture quality in the big box retailers is not even close to what you'll get at home with a good set of cable and a hi def cable box. And no matter the brand, most of the components are all the same. There are only 2 or 3 companies that make the main components for LCD's and Plasma's, so go with a brand that offers the best features, warranty and service. The picture quality will be pretty much identical if you go with a 1080p, whichever brand you buy.
