LCD vs. PlasmaTV's

I would like to get some input about the advantages of LCD (flat screen panels, NOT projectors) vs. plasma TV's or monitors. I am really not interested in HDTV formats as a priority. I've heard negatives about "pixel burn-out", problems with use in higher elevations (above 6000 feet), as well as problems in extremely dry or humid climates. Also, what is the largest screen LCD availible? Thanks!

Caution: There is a strong possibility that Panasonic is withdrawing their 52" DLP from the market for reliability reasons. Do a search at avsforum.com if you want/need details.

It depends on your uses of course. No TV is perfect for everything.

That said, you might also look into DLP RPTV's. We have a Samsung and love it.

Cheap one for $5K? Which make/model or size?

We bought our tiny 43" Samsung DLP for about $3K. Once you wean yourself off TV's overly vibrant colors and artificial sharpness, it's easy to appreciate the filmlike/lifelike PQ the DLP sets can provide. Poor man's front projector, and no need to dim the lights.
