Q. also whats the diffrence?
A. Plasma will provide you better color, truer blacks, and better contrast. Plasma has a near instantaneous response time, so it handles fast motion playback flawless (inherent to the technology, like a CRT or DLP). Plasma will give you a better overall image.
Plasma only suffers from myths and misconceptions. Plasma no longer suffers from burn-in. Plasma works at high altitudes. Plasma does not have a short life-span (most are 60,000-100,000 which is equal or better than any LCD). Plasma models are not all energy hogs, many are energy star certified now.
LCD is the everyman HDTV. In the past it was cheaper (not the case anymore). It is better "known" because of LCD computer monitors. And in the past it was better in terms of energy consumption (again not always the case now).
LCD is inherently flawed in fast motion playback. It suffers from motion blur (ghost trails). This is compensated for with 120Hz and 240Hz refresh rates. This helps a lot, but doesn't fix the problem entirely. Also you are having to pay a heavy price premium for this feature.
LCD colors, blacks, and contrast are weaker than a Plasma because of its CCFL lighting source. LCDs have tried to correct this with the new LED based LCDs. The LED lighting source provides colors, blacks, and contrast that are more towards the Plasma line. But again you have to pay a huge price premium for this (so much so that a Plasma becomes far cheaper).
But, all that being said, TV size matters. The advantages of Plasma, of 1080p, of 120Hz/240Hz, of LED, all become more apparent as you break 40" and moreso 50". In sets of 37" and smaller the advantages aren't as easy to see (if noticeable at all). So in those sized sets a 'basic' LCD is actually the way you want to go.
For Plasma stick with Panasonic. They make amazing Plasma sets and will give you great image quality bang for the dollar. If that doesn't suit you for whatever reason you can settle with Samsung or LG sets.
For LCD of 37" or smaller, I again like the Panasonic models a lot. I really like the blacks and colors that they deliver. But the "S's" are all really good choices as well; by that I mean Samsung, Sony, and Sharp Aquos. Those same brands are also the go to choices if you decide to go into larger sized LCDs. Toshiba and LG can be thrown into the LCD mix as well.

Which TV type looks and works best for HDTV? LCD or Plasma?
Q.
A. They have their pros and cons. In terms of picture quality Plasmas have LCD beat; but other things such as lighter weight, less energy consumption, and smaller screens make LCD have its advantages. I don't know so much about Plasmas being "phased out" because the top HDTVs 3/5s are still Plasmas.
I'm gonna give you the break down from an unbias manner using as many facts as possible with minimal opinions. I think most people are basing their answers off opinions. First off if you are going smaller than 40"s LCD hands down. Why? Because Plasma does not make TVs that small.
Now I will start buy comparing two TV's of similar size and features. Samsung and Panasonic are both leaders of their respected technologies LCD and Plasma. I'll be looking at Samsung 40" LCD (Model: LN40B750, 1080p 240 Hz) and Panasonic 42" Plasma (Model: TC-P42G10, 1080p)
Plasma have near instant refresh rate meaning they do not suffer from motion blur like LCDs do although many LCD have 120 and 240hz processors that help(like the Samsung model I am comparing) it still not as clear at processing fast motions(action movies, video games, sports) as plasmas. Average response time for a Plasma is .001ms where LCD is 2ms
Some people worry about plasmas burning in images but those were the first gen plasmas many years ago nowadays if you have a good name brand plasma(like Panasonic) you would almost have to try and burn an image into the screen because of the use of better gases and anti image retention technology. So unless you plan on leaving you TV on a static image for days you probably will not suffer from burn in.
In terms of viewing. LCD loses some of its picture quality when you view it at an off angle. Plasma you can view it at any angle without losing picture quality. However, since plasma has a glass screen it is more likely to have glare if you are in a room with a lot of light.(The Panasonic model I suggested has a filter to reduce glare but still something you should realize if its going to be in a bright room)
As also stated the plasma has better pic quality...2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to the LCD 150,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Plasma is also known to produce better blacks.
Plasmas do use more energy than LCDs. Its not crazy more but it is enough to see some extra dollars on your electric bill a month if watched at the same rate as an LCD. The Panasonic model is still ENERGY STAR Qualified meaning it uses less energy than a regular tube tv but in comparison still uses more than a LCD.
Finally weigh wise the Plasma weighs more than an LCD. That particular plasma weighs 55.2 pounds compared to that particular LCD weighing in at 32.6 pounds
Price for that Plasma is under $900 compared to $1200+ for the LCD.
I would go with the Plasma especially since it is cheaper and has better picture quality; but if weight, energy consumption and a SLIGHT chance of burn in really discourages you go with the LCD. Otherwise generally speaking both are great TVs

Also Cnet a place that reviews electronics have a top 5 HDTVs of the 5 three TVs were Plasmas in 2nd 3rd and 4th place. Number one was an LED which like you said is out of the equation due to pricing and 5th was a LCD
