Ive just bought both!

slightly lower power consumption with lcd.
Which has better picture(for the same res) I reckon lcd, but have a look yourself, they are both really good now.
Plasmas are cheaper/ get more screen per $.
Warranties aren't as long on some plasmas, most sets have antiburn software now for if you leave it with the dvd menu on screen etc.

Im sure there are other numbers to compare.

What size? Up to 46 inch I would recommend LCD. 50 inch and over I would recommend Plasma because LCDs getting up to that size cant match the performance of Plasma.

LCD of choice would be the Samsung 46 inch F8 (LA46F81BDX).
Plasma of choice would be the Pioneer 50 inch Kuro (PDP-LX508A) but its close to $6000. If thats too much then the Samsung 50 inch Series 5 (PS50A550), or Series 6 (PS50A650).

Plasma's FTL, I would definately go LCD.

My brother got a cheap panasonic LCD and it already has a few dead pixels.
My grandparents got a cheap plasma, and it had big black strips down it.
So whatever you get, make sure you are buying quality

The LCD definately has better picture quality though

We went with the 50" plasma for our entertainment system, 42" sony LCD for other. Colors on the Plasma for me are so much better. As for quality, side by side we can not notice the difference except that the plasma seems to produce better color.
