I prefer LCD myself because the Plasma’s seem to give off too much glare during the day. It’s hard to watch TV in regular defintion after watching HDTV. I prefer to think of it as an educational investment as I’ve watched specials on the Discovery Channel with my kids featuring penguins, bald eagles, glaciers, rain forests and tree frogs instead of whatever I used to watch. Don’t get me started on sports. Hockey is even watchable in High Def.
