Which HDTV type is better, Plasma or LCD?
Q. I was orginally going to stick with a front projector but i've told that those have bad image quality (tell me if this is true or not and explain). They said get a HDTV that is not a Front Projection. So I am wondering what would work best for my need LCD or Plasma?
My Situation/needs are:
1. I want to be able to play my 360 in 1080p format, which is best at doing this?
2. Which will last the longest without any repairs or anything else of the sort?
Enviromental conditions:
I live in wisconsin near madison so I don't think high altitude is a problem. Plus it will be in our basement so even if it is hot out the fact that its a basement will keep it cooler. It generally isn't too humid but can be some days.
Please say more than just an opinion. In other words don't just say "plasma" or "LCD" because I want to know more behind it than your opinion.

A. LCD flatscreens are a lot lighter than Plasma TVs which weigh over a 100 lbs. Nevertheless, LCD flatscreens may have limited viewing angles and can suffer from dead pixels. Here are some LCD TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 52 inch models: Samsung LN-T5265F ($3,500); Sharp Aquos LC-52D82U ($3,500) & 47 inch LG 47LB5D ($2,500).
While Plasma TVs are very suspectible to ghosting which is the result of having a fixed image inadvertently left on the screen for a long period of time. This fixed image will literally remain as a ghost image backgrounded to the screen. Usually the solution is to install a floating screen savers which is activated when the screen is not active. Here are some plasma TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 50 inch models: Panasonic TH-50PX75U ($2,300) and Hitachi P50H401 ($2,300).
And then there are rear projection LCD's and DLP's which use mirror panels and color wheels to filter and project a very large screen image [ranging from 65" to 72" diagonally measured]. The major concern is replacement cost of lamps which usually cost between $200 - $300 and last any number of hours depending on how the TV is shut off. Failing to properly shut down either LCD or DLP units which involves leaving on the main fan running for some 20 minutes -- will result in early failure of projection lamps. And there's the added concern regarding the use of "organic" material which make up the LCD panels/mirrors and usually causes the blue panel to fade over a period of time. So you may have to look forward to purchasing a new LCD projection TV. But getting back to DLP projection TV, there is the issue of viewers seeing the dreaded "rainbow effect" which are color flashes appear in highly contrasty dark scenes. Their sighting can cause headaches and is quite annoying to the viewers. And a possible cure is to choose a color wheel which operates faster than 3X; say 4X which seems to be the threshold speed that virtually eliminates the rainbow effect. Here are some LCD/ DLP rear projection TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; 62 inch LCD Toshiba 62HM196 ($2,800); and 56 inch DLP Toshiba Cinema Series 56HMX96 ($2,500).

And finally, we should also consider the "ultimate, best" TV technology: "Front Projection."
You may well want to check out another technology: DLP front projection which produces a movie-like experience of HD television, DVDs, videos and games. And according to Consumer Reports, "front projection has a superior image -- better than CRT's, LCDs or plasma."
