For those that mentioned the life span of Plasma vs LCD; you are partly right but make are making one sided argument. They do both have a lifespan that is almost equal; however, you can't get your screen "recharged" with gas, but you can get your CCFL's replaced in an LCD for pretty cheap. And if one set of bulbs go out in a LCD you can still watch the TV almost without noticing; if a plasma starts to take a shit on you parts of the screen will start to turn black making the TV unwatchable.

It would be like taking 2 of the same cars but different models, one car will go 50k miles before it needs an oil change, while the other car needs a whole new engine because the oil cannot be removed or changed or removed so the car junk at that point. Maybe a bad example you see my point.

I agree that the picture on some of the higher end plasma's is better overall initially than LCD, but the burn in is way worse and like I already stated they cannot be repaired when they start to go on your. If you have a unlimited supply of money than it really wouldn't matter.
