Plasma does have the same resolution...I have a 42" Panasonic that is true 1080p.
Most modern plasmas use pixel wobble and other tricks to avoid burn-in. Still, if I leave a static image on my screen for a long time I can see a very faint ghost afterwards. But it goes away and once a picture signal is there I can't see it. I just don't leave menus, etc sitting on-screen for hours at a time.
I looked at both and to me plasma was a clear winner wrt getting more of a "film" look. The key to tvs these days are the blacks, and the better plasmas are better than any of the LCDs in that regard. LCD is getting better, but to my eyes there was a difference.
The Pioneer Kuros are the hot ticket right now but you'll pay north of $2K for a 42". I think it is worth it to go true 1080p, and in fact I traded my lower resolution Panasonic for the one I have now.
Check out the PZ700U and PZ77U. The main difference is that the 77 has an anti glare coating. I went with the 700 as I have a reasonably dark room, and some maintain that the coating on the 77 softens the pic.
If you have a lot of glare, then LCD is likely a better choice.
