Answer 1

A plasma display is an emissive flat panel display where light is created by phosphors excited by a plasma discharge between two flat panels of glass.



LCD: Liquid crystal display television is, as indicated by its name.



LCD will last longer than a Plasma.

Although a lot of newer plasmas have a 1/2 life of 60,000.00 hours.



Plasma TVs are bigger than LCD.



Plasma has a higer contrast ratio (deeper blacks)



LCD comes in much smaller sizes than Plasma.



Plasma TV's cost less then LCD.

Answer 2

LCD is a liquid crystal display.

Plasma is a gas based technology.



They both actually have about the same life span which is roughly 60,000 hours.



The plasma will give you a brighter picture with a little better quaility.



But the price on plasma is pretty high compared to LCD.



I would go with a LG brand. They are the best in the market today.

both are lesser than DLP sets, also you can get a bigger plasma at a cheaper price than lcd.
