Plasma screens have a slight edge over LCDs. This is because plasma screens can display blacks more accurately than LCDs can, which means better contrast and detail in dark-coloured television or movie scenes. The nature of LCD technology, where a backlight shines through the LCD layer, means it's hard for it to achieve true blacks because there's always some light leakage from between pixels. This is steadily improving with every new generation of LCD, however.

Apart from better contrast due to its ability to show deeper blacks, plasma screens typically have better viewing angles than LCD.

L CD has the edge over plasma in several other key areas. LCDs tend to have higher native resolution than plasmas of similar size, which means more pixels on a screen.

LCDs also tend to consume less power than plasma screens.

If you're for a big screen television 50-inches and above -- then Plasma is a safe bet. Plasmas give you more bang for your buck and while LCDs can give you better resolution, plasma still has the edge in terms of picture quality. One other thing to look for, whether you opt for plasma or LCD, is an integrated tuner -- many TVs still have analogue tuners, which look pretty terrible on a large screen. Try to get a model with an inbuilt HD tuner if you can.

A t the smaller end of things (15" to 42" TVs), LCD is the only way to go if you want something slim and tasteful. And the best thing is that LCDs are getting cheaper all the time.

Comin g to choice of brand Hitachi would be the best, however their service support is not as good as LG or Samsung. Between LG & Samsung there is hardly anything to choose. Just do a feature to price comparison between the 2 before buying.
