I've owned one large screen plasma and two large screen LCD. I will never get another plasma and will definitely go for more LCDs (unless LED is good, which I haven't looked at at all). Plasma uses more energy (which matters if you're paying the bills) but the real downside is the glare. The only time I would recommend getting a plasma is if you're in a dark basement with no sunlight. If you're going to be playing in a room, and want some light, then I would definitely recommend LCD.
