LCD screens have a more limited viewing angle than plasma. Plasma take a lot more power to run than LCD. The best picture in terms of brilliance and contrast is still from a tube.
In the early days of mass TV, doctors and opticians advised having the wall behind the TV lit with a soft lamp to help prevent eye strain caused by looking at, in effect, a single point light source - the screen. So 'ambi-light' certainly ain't a new idea! TVs screens also had rounded corners then. This was intended to help eye movement and further reduce strain, as it was felt that square corners caused the eye to lock to the image. We live, but don't, it seems, learn.

I will answer this for you.

It depends if you like video games.

If you do, lcd is the choice for you.
Lcd has a faster refresh rate (meaning the pciture refreshes quicker) which is better for video games.
(and sports tv prgrams)

The best brand I would say is lg, they are pretty affordable, good quality and invented HD..
