Im not the technical one in my family, that would be my Uncle Tony, but this discussion came up between us and he says LCD's are the best. Their life expectancy is almost twice as long as the plasma because they run on a different system. However there is a lot of argument over the image quality because both look really good! When it comes to sound thats a seperate system all together. From experience i noticed LCD comes equiped with better sound, however you can buy a seperate sound station for the plasma and make it sound incredible!
As a slight note on sound, to achieve maximum sound quality its best to have a carpeted room so the sounds absorb better rather then echo off the floor ^-^ Good luck!
