I think LCD's initially were pricey, and seemed to be limited to about 37" up until 2-3 years ago. Since then, the prices have become much more competitive and also screen sizes are now on par with Plasmas. Recently, plasmas seem to be making a bit of a comeback as some of the issues are being addressed such as burn in, power consumption, heat ect. It's all about individual preference, in the end. Both are good in slightly different ways.
