Just filed, 2100$ return  Most money I've ever received back from the government. I think that 42" LCD might be coming home with me a lot sooner then I thought it would
plasma > lcd as far as picture quality. yes, it will put off more heat, use more energy, and be a little heavier... but the tv will also be less expensive and provide a much better picture. if you're going 42 inches i'd suggest plasma for sure.
and
vizio, insignia, dnyex, westinghouse, etc... 
you get what you pay for 
don't listen to these fools

i agree with you. think you misunderstood me though.
i was just talking about LCDs and Plasma's. if you notice i made no mention of CRTs. i was also generalizing. of course in some situations LCDs will outperform Plasmas, and different needs require different ends.
for example, if you compare similar priced new model lcds and plasmas, generally the plasmas will provide a "much better" picture. the darks will be truer and darker (new LCDs with the LED backlight do rival the blacks of Plasmas), there will be less blur, and better viewing angles.
however if you are sitting in a room with lot of light and always directly in front of the LCD... LCD might be the way to go. the plasmas generally reflect more light and are not as bright (however some new Plasmas are coming with anti-reflective coatings). LCDs are also much cooler (if heat is an issue), and consume less energy. they also weigh significantly less. it's also hard to find a plasma under 42 inches (and if you do generally the LCD will provide more bang for the buck). but LCDs top out at around 52 inches unless you find some very ludicrously priced ones. it is also interesting to note that LCDs generally provide a better native resolution (pixels on screen).
and i didn't mention CRTs because they are way too bulky in my opinion. i would rather sacrifice a little quality to have a much smaller and lighter plasma or lcd. i think the majority of people would agree with me, as plasmas and lcds are far more popular today.
In short, the best bang for the buck in a dark room is Plasma (between LCD and Plasma). LCDs are catching up quickly though especially with LED backlighting.

I thought the lifespan of both LCD and Plasma are nothing compared to a CRT and that either the plasma OR the LCD (I think it's the plasma) burn out within a couple years or something ridiculous like that. Actually... then there's dead pixels with the LCDs too right?
 obvious troll is obvious.
