If he is used to plasma, he will not be happy with the image quality of an LED set. Although there have been improvements in LCD/LED sets, plasma keeps improving as well. Still the best image quality. The heating myth is way overblown, as any plasma owner knows.

I tried the "hand test"
Went to several stores and placed my hand on the top rear of the big screens. Plasmas really pumped out the heat. You can feel a breeze of hot air raising from them. LCD's are much better, just a bit of a flow of warm air. LED's have virtually no warm air flowing out from them.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
Note I didnt say plasmas didnt generate heat, I said it was way overblown. Yes, I can feel heat if I stick my hand over the screen, but in real use, it has never been the slightest problem. I feel it is a small price to pay for the picture quality.
My Panasonic plasma has fans on the back, but the air coming from them never feel any warmer than room temp. Probably is slightly warmer than room temp though, since moving air aways feels cooler. The top of my CRT computer monitor feels warmer.
Uhh, it's been eleven years since the twentieth century.

So that means we throw away something that works great?
Agreed, the heating problem is overblown and my three Panasonic Viera plasmas are very bright. None of them heats up the room they are in either.

I thought it was a bit of an overblown myth too. Not anymore, not after the past summer. I had to splurge and put a $15 fan in my viewing room. Had to crank the vol a tad more to compensate...
It will be nice in the winter, which frankly is all-round good for plasma owners, because it gets dark earlier and that's when you want to watch the plasma...when it's dark. So you're watching more, and getting heated. Plus a nice piccy. Plasma for the winter, LED for the summer. If it's warm all the time where you are, you probably have a better cooling setup than most here have, so definitely plasma if you're fussy enough to notice the diff.
Well, we are in the central valley of California, where summer temps typically run from the mid 90's on good days, to 105 or more on hot days. AC is the norm for us.
