LCD vs. PlasmaTV's

I would like to get some input about the advantages of LCD (flat screen panels, NOT projectors) vs. plasma TV's or monitors. I am really not interested in HDTV formats as a priority. I've heard negatives about "pixel burn-out", problems with use in higher elevations (above 6000 feet), as well as problems in extremely dry or humid climates. Also, what is the largest screen LCD availible? Thanks!

Sony has 50 and 60 inch LCD models available. Panasonic has a 52in. DLP available now that is way better than LCD and looks more transparent than the current Samsung models.. Tom

Caution: There is a strong possibility that Panasonic is withdrawing their 52" DLP from the market for reliability reasons. Do a search at avsforum.com if you want/need details.

Cheap one for $5K? Which make/model or size?

We bought our tiny 43" Samsung DLP for about $3K. Once you wean yourself off TV's overly vibrant colors and artificial sharpness, it's easy to appreciate the filmlike/lifelike PQ the DLP sets can provide. Poor man's front projector, and no need to dim the lights.
