Friend o'mine who is a reseller for flat screens says:
Plasmas: getting overtaken now for picture quality by LCDs. Plasmas need regassing in approx 2-4 yrs' time, dependent on viewing time. When most owners get the quote, they'll probably just bin the TV & start again with an LCD.
LCDs: manufacturers have got quality issues fixed up to 32" diagonal. Not sure on screen sizes above this, where dead pixels and convergence can still be a problem.
CRTs: still a lovely, sharp picture, but just bulky now, and don't fit today's lifestyle. Apparently there was some OEM talk about developing a much flatter depth tube to reduce the footprint of the TV, but LCD technology and falling production costs quickly made this idea redundant.
Don't know if this helps. I just have a CRT, no digital box, Sky or anything. No time you see, too busy putting in the long work hours..."My God, it's huge!!"Comment

Bought a 17" Philips LCD a year or so ago - it's very good but a bit small. Currently working out how to persuade the Mrs that HD is a good idea - she's not convinced.
Spoke to a guy at Sky that I know and he reckoned the Sharp Aqueos (sp?) LCD TV's were some of the best they'd tested with the HD setup there but I've been quite impressed with my Philips TV and would certainly think about getting a Philips HD LCD TV, probably around the 30" mark, that is if the Mrs OK's it.
Which is unlikely unless I bribe her in some way.Comment
