Is the room that your TV set going into a dedicated TV room? If you have a lot of windows i'd stay clear of plasma, as it is glass and reflections are a PITA. That is personally why I went with LCD. Remember the TV set is only as good as what your source is.

All lcd sets on the market use the same glass surface as plasmas so you will get the same glare/reflection no matter which one you get.

Plasma is going to be a better choice for watching live sports hands down.

Another issue that plasma excels at is off axis viewing. I installed 6 lcds in a stock trading room. They were all installed at the same height horizontally across a long wall. If you stood in the center of the room looking directly at the display in front of you there was a noticeable difference as you looked at each set as you went out to the sides. The further you got off axis the more color and brightness you lost. I really wanted to take a picture to use for sales demonstrations but due to the client and the nature of the room that was not possible.

Great point. I can still see the 42" Panasonic plasma TV in the family room when I'm way off to the side in the kitchen.

Technology must have changed because my old Philips is not glass. My son has thrown shit at it without incident. My friend had to buy a new tv when his son tossed a quarter at a plasma and cracked the surface screen
