Plasmas - better for sport LCDs - better for games
and how about which one is best for just regular TV watching? Which is what I use my TV for
I personally would NEVER have a plasma and if I were to get a flat panel it would be LCD. My sister has a big Plasma and it literally gobbles up the electricity. It gets so hot it is a fire hazard. A technician advised her to turn it off when not in use, especially if they leave the house and when sleeping. LCD's get hot (my pc screen is LCD) but not as hot as Plasma.
