Question should be more like why plasma why not LCD?

Plasma does not do well in direct sunlight or in rooms with bright light. The colours will fade much faster than LCD. Unless, of course, there have been some major changes in the past year. LCD should be cheaper than plasma, again unless there have been some major changes.

We have a Sharp AQUOS (36") and bought one (46 or 48"?) for the in-laws and we all love it! We bought a Phillips 7XXXXX (36") for my mom and it looks GREAT! I also like the Toshiba.

Remember, higher end stores will likely have higher end sets. Don't compare just prices. Compare model numbers and make sure you are really looking model to model. It does make a difference!
