I would go LCD becuase it is much less than Plasma which means you can get more TV for your buck.

I bought a 23 inch LCD HDTV for our master bedroom. I looked at Sony, Panasonic, Zenith, LG and Toshiba and the Samsung I bought had the best picture quality of all of them. Nice TV with great sound for about $800 at Sams Club which is part of the most hated Wal-Mart corporation.

That is true in the smaller sizes, but in the larger sizes plasma is less than LCD.

I am looking for a 4245 inch for our master bedroom as the new armoire we bought can fit a 46 inch wide TV, and a 90 inch on another. Since the 70 inch plasmas are running about $9,000-$12,000, I think I will wait until the price comes down just a tad.

I think plasma and LCD are about even in price in the 35 inch or so range. Above that, LCDs get very expensive and plasma is the way to go. LCD may be the way to go int he 35 inch and smaller sizes.

I know plasma uses more power than LCDs, but over a course of one year, I would like to know how much $ cost we are talking about. Normally, if one could afford a $4,000 plasma or LCD, then electricity cost is not a concern, but I would be curious as to the difference.

I also heard Samsung has a very rich color saturation. The guy at Best Buy said that Samsung may even be a little "too rich" in color saturation. I also heard one maker (maybe it was Sony) has come out with a new technology (surprise) that combines the best features of projection, LCD and plasma.

I don't have a Sam's Club membership but I do for Costco and Costco had some prices that were about $1,000 less than Best Buy for the same sizes.
