I think quality is also very dependent on the manufacturer. Some plasmas look great, some look pretty average. Go to a TV store and see them all lined up on the wall so you can compare.

I've got a 37" Sharp LCD which is mega sharp - to me it looks better than the plasmas I have seen, but it is heaps more expensive for an equivalent size.

Dead pixels? Aren't they a plasma problem, not an LCD problem? I thought that was when the gas things stop working (highly technical, I know!).

The only slight problem I find with LCDs is that when there is loads of detail flashing past on screen, sometimes the pixels 'drag' a little, as though the TV can't get the data up on screen quick enough.
