The difference between plasma and lcd TV is the type of material that is used to project the image. LCD has a good image but plasma has a better image. The only problem with plasma is that there is a greater chance of burning an image into the screen from overuse.

LCD screens emit no light of their own, they need to be back lit by flourescent tubes or White LED's. They are cheaper to make, reasonably robust and lighter than a Plasma.

Plasma screens are expensive, delicate, heavy, run hot, use lots of power, made of glass and emit their own light via the plasma trapped in individual cells.

Plasma's used to have the better light output and definition, but LCD technology is fast catching up.
