RE: Your choice should really boil down to two types.

To clarify further... Plasma is not good if you consider using it as a computer monitor down the road. It will eventually get burn in to some degree..mine did.

If mainly for movies and normal TV watching..you'll be good to go with the Plasma.

Live fast motion picture quality is more dependent on the processing power of the TV than any thing else(whether Plasma or LCD). My Samsung plasma has a terrific picture, but it does have digital artifacts or chipping compared to my LCD when watching live sports broadcast. The LCD actually has the better picture in these areas and it is a 60Hz model Sharp Aquos. The Sharp clearly has better processing in this case.

With recorded video, your video source is what decides how good of a picture you'll get more than anything else IMO.

Also another quark, my Samsung plasma does have better black levels, but the Sharp has better detailed black levels. Instead of seeing just a black blazer of a person's suit. You see a black blazer, black tie and a black shirt with wrinkles in it. This of course varies from panel to panel. Just something to pay close attention too. Some panels will black out the details.

My favorite LCDs are Samsung, Sharp and Sony. For Plasma I would go with the new Panasonic 1080P.

Good luck
