LCD or Plasma?

From time to time, you may come across people or you yourself asking this question: To choose a Plasma or LCD TV?

Below are summary of my finding, saving you some searching time:

Traditionally Plasma should have better picture quality than LCD TV, but the gap now is marginal at best. Major difference is the viewing angle, which plasma have an edge because they offer same viewing quality wherever you stand, and this translate to wider viewing angle.

However, LCD are:
Gamer choice, brighter, high screen resolution(on same price range comparison).

Fast motion picture is better on plasma because of high-contrast level(better black and shadow details) and also better response time(LCD is improving). Plasma used to have image ghosting problem but now seldom happening.

Last but not least, LCD would come cheaper in comparison so as the power consumption.
