Plasma Pros:

Better blacks means better contrast ratio

Better color saturation due to better black level performance

Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images)

Bigger screen sizes for less money



Plasma Cons:

Reflective glass screens mean distracting reflections when light is bouncing off the screen

Not as bright as LCD panels

Potential burn-in problems from static images

Draws more electrical current then LCD panels

Does not perform as well at higher altitudes


LCD Pros:

Extremely bright and therefore better able to compete with ambient light, which makes them a better choice for bright rooms.

No burn in issues.

No high altitude use issues.


LCD Cons:

Generally poor black level performance, which also reduces contrast ratio.

Poorer motion tracking (potential motion lag in fast moving images).

The really large screen sizes from 52-inches and up are still generally more expensive than plasma.
