    I have a Sony LCD that is an XBR model. I think it looks awesome. You don’t have to worry about burnout with an LCD.

    Both plasma and LCD have the ’screen-door’ effect when looking close up. Plasma seems worse than LCD so if close seating is an issue, go with LCD.

    In terms of which look better – there is no clear winner: both are outstanding with true HD material. If you calibrated both with a calibration disk, you could not tell the difference.

    You should look for:

    - Number of HDMI and Component inputs. You want as many as possible.
    - HDMI 1.3 support
    - Does the TV let you jump straight to an input or do you have to toggle AntA->AntB->SVideo->…. The superior units lets you jump straight to an input. This also makes universal remotes work better.
    - Does the TV have separate brightness/contrast/color setting for each input? The superior TV’s have independent settings for each input so it can be adjusted for your CATV box, your DVD player, etc.
    - Does the TV have a black bezel/frame around the screen? Black bezel’s help improve the contrast a bit.
