Plasma or LCD ?

What would you choose for you next tv? Both panels might look the same but they are actually very different.Plasma uses tiny gas plasma cells, charged by electrical voltages to create the picture. LCD ( liquid crystal display ) has its images created by liquid crystal pushed into the space between two glass plates.The images are created by variation in the amount of electrical charges applied to the crystals.Each of these technologies have different pros and cons. Both can produce excellent images, however some specialists say that Plasma can have a bit of better pictures because it can display black better than LCDs which gives better contrast and better detail in dark scenes. But LCD is closing the gap fast. APparently plasmas also have better viewing angles than LCDs.HOwever LCDs are improving in this area too, so the difference might not be that big anymore. ON the other hand LCD tend to have more pixels on the screen than a plasma of the same size( Higher resolution ). THey also tend to consume less power than Plasmas and are usually lighter than a plasma of the same size. The truth is that in the beginning the differences were bigger but they are getting very close as each technology perfects. As a rule, if you're looking for a big screen television - 42 inches or more, maybe plasma is better specially if you have to pay attention to the money you spend. IF you're looking for a smaller screen than LCD seems to be better. What do you think? which one would you choose?
