As far as quality, to a discerning eye, the picture in an LCD might be better than a plasma, but I think the plasma’s outputting a 1080p signal look pretty good next to an LCD. Plasma’s use two glass screens with the gas sandwiched between them, so you’ll get glare from other light sources. So if you have lots of lamps or lots of windows with no shades, LCD might be the better way to go. The black levels on a plasma are going to be better than on an LCD, because instead of blocking the back light to get the color black like on an LCD, plasma’s simply cut the power to the area of the screen that’s showing black, so you get a much truer black.
