Q. I am looking to get a 42" HDTV and want the best deal for the money.
A. Sears is going to have a 40" Samsung 500 series LCD for $799, and a 46" for $1099. They are lower end, but will probably be a your best deal. The only major difference between the 500 series, and the 530 is one less HDMI input.
what is the real different between a LCD and a Plasma HDTV?

A. Here are the facts:
Plasma:
Pros:
It has a much better picture for fast motion such as sports or action movies.
It has a more accurate color because it can produce a true black.
It is very durable due to a glass screen on the front of the TV.
Price per inch is cheaper than an LCD.
Cons:
That durable pane of glass can cause glare from windows or lights in the room. If you have glare on your current TV, its not going to get any better with a plasma.
Higher power consumption than LCD.
Myths:
Plasmas have short life expectancy... Incorrect, 60,000 hour life expectancy (15-20 years)
Plasmas have burn in (aka image retention)... Not an issue with most plasmas on the market and only a concern if playing video games for long periods of time.
LCD:
Pros:
LCD has a matte finish (on most, not all) which won't cause glare.
Lower power consumption than plasma.
Cons:
It doesn't handle fast action well at all. Even the new 120hz LCD's don't process action as well as a plasma.
It can't produce a true black (only a dark blue). All other colors on the screen are brightened to fool your eye into seeing a black which throws off all colors.
The screens are delicate and can be easily damaged by young children or pets.
Myths:
Life expectancy is far greater than plasma... Incorrect. Life expectancy is 80,000 hours (18-23 years).
In response to something that has high pixels. 1080p is the new buzz word in the industry, however 1080p isn't available for cable, satellite, or antenna. The only way you'll receive 1080p picture quality is to purchase a Bluray player and watch Bluray DVDs ($300-400 for the player plus $30/bluray dvd). Don't get caught up in the whole 1080p resolution. If you only watch DVDs on occasion, you're probably not going to spring for the expensive Bluray player. If you don't plan on getting the Bluray player, save your money and look at a 720p TV.
Summary:
Your basic rule of thumb is if you can control the light in the room, get a plasma, if you can't, go with an LCD. Also, don't compare TV pictures side by side as all the images are highly exaggerated. Go to your local Best Buy and ask for a calibration demo (it will blow your mind and change the way you'll pick out a TV). They can also draw out your room and recommend a TV based on your lifestyle needs. They also aren't on commission, so no pressure and they'll match almost any price.
