I have an LG 52" 720P Plasma and a Samsung 52" 1080P LCD... I much prefer the LCD. (Keep in mind, "HD" cable only runs up to 720p here, so it is a 1:1 comparison). Plasma also has problems with burn-in.

I'm no expert but the cost difference and the tendency of the more cost competitive plasmas to be 720p rather than 1080p (like most LCD's these days) had essentially eliminated the plasma market (and coincidentally the DLP market as well). I had also understood that most of the manufacturers had dropped their plasma production and were focusing solely on LCD's these days.
