Better to get lcd or plasma?

If i wanted a 42" to 50" tv for under £400 which is the better one to go with, lcd or plasma?

Also same question but when you get between £500 and £700?

Thanks, i thought there might be some big differences when the budget drops too low to make it worth getting one over the other.

So what models are recommended at the moment in each price range?

Spend a bit more and get an LED TV, much thinner and will soon supersede standard backlit LCD entirely.

But if youre sticking to budget get an LCD, plasma is dead. Plasma has absolutely no advantage over LCD image quality wise.

Really? I've not compared the latest tv's but i always thought plasmas have the edge, so whats best for under £500?

Would be nice to see more recommended models for both lcd and plasma.

It's interesting to read the discussion going but i really just wanted to know the best to get in each budget, i don't know how much i might spend but ideally under £500, i thought at lower budgets lcd might be the better choice but if plasma still has the edge i will go for it, so what models are worth looking at?
