Stay away from LCD... that's all I know. LCD's are very bad long term. Plasma is the way to go, or so i've heard.

That is a very informed and objective post Jordon.
If you want a Flat panel:
If you play video games, get an LCD
If you want something big, its cheaper to get Plasma
Basically on quality, all things are fairly equall
Viewing angle: LCD with a slight edge
Refresh rates: Slight edge to plasma
Brightness: LCD, slightly
Burn in: BIG advantage to LCD
Contrast: Big debate. Plasma's list better contrast rates, but there is a whole big argument about how LCD's perform better in this aspect in actual everyday uses
Life Span: slight edge LCD, depends on manufacturer too though, check ratings for the ones you are considering
Weight: LCD (if you are wallmounting)
Thickness: LCD (also for wall mounting)
Fragility: LCD (I think if you turn a plasma upside down its done)
