I spent way too much time researching this, so it would be great if is helped someone else out.
Plasma is less expensive, with better contrast. But, it runs very hot, and uses more power. Most people purchased plasmas early on because LCDs didn’t come that large.
LCD is a little more expensive, but uses less power, won’t burn-in (even though everyone says plasmas do not any more), and has a great picture.
I have one of each (LCD in bedroom, plasma in living room). I like the LCD way better, and would not buy another plasma.
I would highly recommend buying from costco, even if the other place offers a slightly better deal. The reason is that the panels can have bad pixels. When I checked at the time, costco would allow a return up to 1 year of the purchase date. Everyone else had an “acceptable failure” rate of a percentage of the total pixels, in which they would not allow a return/replacement.
Recommendation: LCD from Costco

December 15, 2007 at 5:35 PM #118041HLSParticipantI suggest checking FRY’S for great price and selection, and considering the extended warranty contract.
Selection at COSTCO is OK, but very limited.LCD should be a better value and MUCH, MUCH cheaper on electricity use. (I read that plasma could easily run over $10 a month)
WALMART has had some nice deals lately, but last time I checked the largest set was 42″. They were offering extended payments at 0% interest if purchased by 12-31, I don’t know if that offer is still on.
