Plasma vs LCD help, which is better?

Take a look at a third choice, namely DLP ( Digital Light Processing ).

Looking at flat screen to hang on the wall.
I thought DLP was front or rear projection only?

If you are willing to pay $3000 for a 50" Plasma, then you should check out the Panasonic 50PX60. It is listed at $3500, but street price should be around $3000.

Panasonic should be a close second to the Pioneer but is much lower in price.

LCD panels still have a few years to catch up with Plasma and are more expansive at the same size.

Have a look at the AVS forums. Really changed my mind about what I thought I wanted/needed. So much so that I'd probably just get an ED 42" Panny for about $1500 and be happy.

I second Dtsag comments...Plasma still has the edge (although LCD is indeed catching up) and Panasonic has best value performance in my mind.
