Plasma Or LCD?

Hi guys. Im confused.
I want to buy the tv thats going to give me the best picture quality for my budget of £400. I know its not going to be AMAZING quality, but this is my absolute max.
The tv is going to be used for general watching. I would love to start watching blue ray movies that would be played via my sons playstation 3.
It will also be used for gaming too.
So far ive narrowed it down to 2 tvs. Both tvs are 37inch. 1 of which is a Plasma tv. (Panasonic TXP37C10) and the other is an LCD TV (LG 32LH3000) which is also 1080p ready. Am i going to see the benefits of 1080p at this size?
Also im a little worried about the sound, as i dont have extra speakers or amp. So if anyone knows which one sounds the best,out of the box, that would be great too!
Thanks

I dont think im overly bothered about glare too much. What i am more interested in, is this whole 1080p buisness. Will i really see much difference in quality over a 720p set?
Regards

At a guess, i would say i sit about 8-10 feet away from the set. So i guess the 1080p set is looking faveorite then?......

Ok, thanks, im im getting somewhere!

Ive decided on the plasma. I can get the PANASONIC VIERA TXP37C10 for £439.90 with a 5year guarantee. Or the PANASONIC VIERA TXP37X10 for £483.90 with 5 year guarantee. I'm presuming its worth paying the extra £45 for the X10?
Thanks

Ive just been reading more about plasma TVs, is it really ESSENTIAL to 'run them in' for 200hrs ?
