LCD vs plasma It's no secret that we're big on plasma picture
quality around these parts, but with the average cost of a
50-inch set coming in $300 cheaper for plasma than LCD, there
are some other reasons to consider the older technology as well.
Among the myriad of plasma misconceptions, fear of burn-in is
the gift that keeps on giving to LCDs, even as they move into
the 40-inch regime largely vacated by plasmas. At the more
pricey end of the spectrum, dynamic LED backlighting has
narrowed the performance gap, but those LED backlit sets are
still quite pricey. In the end, it's good to have choice -- and
as much as we support plasma, we just can't agree with the
zealots that claim "death" to either technology. The competition
between LCD and plasma is exactly what has brought better
performance and lower prices to everyone, so we're hoping this
fight goes as many rounds as possible.   Plasma prices falling
