The recent studies I have done on my own have produced a little information about this topic.

Plasma is a bit clearer and sharper in image because of that black feature.

LCD is a bit less expensive.

You do not need HD Ready unless you have HD TV, or HD Cable or whatever...unless your DVD player has True Digital hookup. True digital will make DVD player to your HD TV be better than it is through the analog cables people are currently using.

Plasma TVs have to be completely replaced if they go out.

LCD TVs...I think are cheaper on repair.

Those dead pixels may not be a problem if there are only a few scattered...but if there is a concentrated cluster of them,,,then you'll be forever pissed off. My unique suggestion is this. Since it is such an expensive purchase, I will ask the store employee to open the box of the one I am buying and let me personally inspect that screen during play to see for myself that it has no flaws.

This is what I am talking about...HDMI and DVI cables.

I think the HDMIs are better, if I remember right. Some Video cards are now coming out with this hookup to go to the monitors for better kick-ass graphics. One problem is that none of the DVD players I saw in store that day at Circuit City had the connection in the back. I suppose you'll have to shop for the right player.
