Be sure to shop around, you will be surprised what differences there are in Price, also John Lewis:-

Do a free 5 year Wanetee, also they do a price match, but only in there shops and against other shops (not the internet), the item must be in stock in both places to save money. John Lewis can be awqward about the Price Promise, depends who you talk to and how they feel on the day, but it is usually worth perusing.

LCD is a liquid and plasma is gas( very simplified)s. You are unlikely to find a Plasma of less than 37".
However I set out to buy a 37" LCD and ended up buying a 37" Plasma. In terms of viewing LCDs have distortion of picture from the sides whereas Plasmas generally give a much brighter picture . They are, in theory though, subject to burn areas. As generalisation for picures of 37" and under - go for LCD and for above that go for Plasma. Hope this helps. What really persuaded me in the end was the 5 year warranty I got and as Stevie has suggested John Lewis do seem to offering a good deal.

Just as an extra in my research for LCDs my favourite was Evesham Technology who sell their products through Lowest On Web(their retail outlet). Oneof the nice things is that they do a 3 year swap out guarantee. Have a look at this:
