Plasmas are rubbish unless you spend a lot of money.
Who buys an lcd because they want to continue watching standard def in the longterm 
Not a chance in hell i'd buy a 1024x768 plasma over a half decent lcd, money down the drain imo because you'll end up buying an lcd when you realise you're missing out.

youre wrong. i spend 9hrs a day staring at TVs. i did think that LCDs were better before i started my job, but over time have come to sence! the difference between hd ready and true hd is so minimal. i have them all set up next to each to show customers and no one can tell the difference! after i set them all up my boss actually thought the hd ready looked better, and tbh i agree, for some reason had better blacks? both 40" Samsung LCDs btw...

kz, you need a better job 
how do you set them up? are they both receiving independant signals? if you cant tell the difference your blind, change the res on your monitor and tell me its the same

Spending 9 hours a day looking at them isn't a good enough reason to know whats good and whats not.
The plasma may look better to you, and a lot of people infact, obviously I can't tell what looks good to you and when i'm asked about tv's these days I recommend buying the one you think looks good.
1024x768 isn't even a proper widescreen resolution, nothing at all to do with hd and true hd.
The LCD's are better tv's though whether the plasma looks better to a particular person or not.

concidering its my job to know about TVs and sell them i think i know a little more than joe public anyway...
its just down to preference i agree, but that means you cant just say "LCDs are better" things like plasmas having faster refresh rates, better contrast ratios (in general) and deeper blacks are facts however

I had typed a post about that then decided not to click the button.
As russ says, anybody i've every spoke to in any electronics shop doesn't have a clue although they work there all day every day.
