I went from a 52 LCD Sharp Aquos to 2 sets a 55 inch Panasonic ST60 and a 60 inch VT60 and the plasmas are so so so much better than the LCD's that I have, when I watch sports games at a friend's house which has a newer model Samsung the comparison isn't even there, for pure picture quality the Plasma blows the modern day LED and LCD sets.
If a slight buzzing sound which you won't hear unless the TV is muted bothers you then get an LCD, if you pause a movie and leave the TV on for hours and hours on a constant basis, get an LED and if you have no curtains near your TV get an LED. Otherwise there's no reasoning for not getting the current Panasonic plasma models. Most people that come to my crib always notice how crisp the image is, makes me wanna high five my TV.
For anyone that hesitates just google the cnet reviews.
I enjoy my sharp aquos picture is great.
That thing is beautiful. I'm about to watch my entire Blu-ray collection over again.
