The living room now has a 1080p LCD. Looks great.. no burn-ins.

If plasma didnt suffer from burn-in.. i'd go with plasma, since it does produce a more vibrant picture. But newer LCDs have much higher contrast ratios now.. and you wont ever have to worry about burn-ins.

I'd go with:
Movies only?: Plasma .. wont have to worry about side-bar burn-ins.
a lot of TV?: LCD... no burn-ins.

When buying a plasma, you go for Panasonic Viera, not for Samsung ...
The newest Full HD models last 100,000 hours, min. risk of burn-ins, home cinema ...

UGHH... this debate is so old and boring.... here's the scoop:

LCD is more expensive for larger screens.
LCD is SLOWER than Plasma.
LCD can't produce the color BLACK very well.
LCD color isn't quite as saturated as Plasma.

So:
If you want watch your favorite movies without being distracted by blurry ghosts on fast moving images, or GRAY nighttime or space scenes that should be black, or boring unreasitic colors, get yourself a Plasma. They're cheap, they're great. Panasonic Vierra's are fantastic.

If you need some help shopping for a TV, bring your favorite DVD to the store and ask for a side-by-side comparison of any TV's you want.

Happy Shopping!
