You can find lots of info in German about Plasma/LCD @ http://www.hifi-regler.de/plasma/plasma-tv-geraete.php

I prefer plasma because in my opinion the colors are brighter, the picture looks better and the bigger screen (42" - there are not so many big and cheap LCDs around) is better suited for my living room.

Hi,

another good german forum:

I would prefer LCD, because of the better resolutions. But as trosty said, Plasma is still better in colors and blackvalue.

Choose a lcd. Plasmas still struggle with burn-in. Plasms are not suitable for HTPC's.

I recommend a samsung LCD from their R-series.. ex: LE-40R72B.. 40" or LE-32R72B. Higly recommended.[/b]

I prefer LCD, with a HTPC which may be left on menus for a while they are less susceptible to screen image burn.

I have a plasma connected to my HTPC and it works great, I really like it. I do not have any problems with burn-in (although I had some config menus, other progs and the regular desktop on for some time). But at work on my lcd screen there is a bad burn in after I left it on during the weekend. I don't think there are big differences between plasmas and lcds anymore concerning burn in (in my opinion).

But besides plasma/lcd technics you should think about the other requirements you expect from the flat screen (resolution, space in the living room, pricelimits, etc) for your decision.

32 inch and under LCD, above that plasma looks better.

Only my opinion

Just display a fully red, green and blue image for a minute or so on the screen and the memeory effect from the lcd transistors will disappear.

I would propose LCD, the higher res just looks better (to me). Most of it is a personal decision. Be aware that you should look for a display that allows the native resolution as an input signal (using DVI). I fell for that issue when I bought my Philips, which nativley has 1366 x 768 but does not allow that resolution as an input ( )

Weve got the LE-40R72B and its great, another recommendation.
