Anything over 32" and you'll want plasma , you'll get screen burn on lcd over 32"
Recharging a plasma is an old wives tale , it can't be done , this has been discussed on other forums i've been on .
If you want long life go for a sony plasma as some of there models have 65,000hrs viewing time .
At the end of the day its up to you , like whats been said , go have a look round the superstores and see which you prefer .
Whatever you get , good luck and enjoy .

You sure? I thought LCD didn't get screen burn full stop. Why would the size make a difference? :?
abinitio:
We have two 17" lcd's and a 42" panasonic plasma (4000;1 contrast ratio) and the plasma wins hands down even compared to all the larger lcd's I have seen.
However different makes of plasma vary in picture quality, if going plasma route do a lot of research, probably best from my knowledge to go with either sony or panasonic.
Personally I wouldn't swap my plasma for any other tv medium.
strapping young lad:
get a crt hi def tv
better quality and longevity than both plasma and lcd
samsung do a 32" widescreen hi def for around 500 quid or less
you will get pixelation with lcd
you wont with good old fashioned crt, unless you want it wall mounted cos it sticks out the back a bit
but other than that its the best option
for a budget i mean

Something I've also been reaserching lately (still waiting for my 28" CRT to blow up). There's a good buyers guide here:

I like plasma pictures but they are darned heavy and use lots of power (enough to keep your living room warm!). My brother got a 42" Sony LCD which only weighed in at 9Kg and the picture is good especially with HD Sky signal.
Personaly I favour viewing movies and big sports events on a big projector screen. DLP and LCD projectors can be bought quite cheaply these days (I got a High Def Hitachi LCD projector on E-Bay the other week for £38! Seller said it needed a new bulb- I plugged it in and was fine.)
The only trouble with projectors is bulb life (~2000 hours) and bulb cost (£200+)- so you don't use them to watch Eastenders! Can't beat them for a 12 foot picture in the lounge though!
