Feif Un, I think it’s the other way around. Plasma has a higher refresh rate, allowing for a smoother picture during intense motion scenes (like sports). LCDs are very close, though, if not pretty much on par. The big difference to me is in color reproduction and energy use. LCDs (primarily LED backlit LCDs) are much less of any energy hog than are plasmas, though that gap has narrowed a bit lately. Plasmas, generally, offer more faithful color saturation and reproduction; LCD colors tend to be more vivid and saturated than plasmas tend to be, so it depends on your preference. Plasmas also have the potential for image “burn-in”, where an image is “burned in” permanently to the screen if that image is left up on the screen for too long. They’ve pretty much licked this issue though over the last few years with some interesting technology, so burn-in is still an issue, but only if you leave the same static image or color on the screen for like 15-20 hrs straight.
Do some research on LCD vs Plasma b4 any one buys…
