Samsung Plasma or LCD - Which one?

[superplay]

Hi Folks

I am looking at Samsung TVs and have narrowed the selection down to either a

Samsung 40" LE40R51B LCD TV
Samsung 42" PS42S5HX Plasma TV

All the reviews ETC rate the LCD, however I have been to Dixons and two Curry’s stores today to take a look at the sets. The TV/DVD which was playing on the LCD set was poor, the picture on the Plasma was clear.

I intend to connect my Media Centre PC for TV/DVD Etc and consoles such as my PS2.

Any pointers, recommendations etc?

When spending 1100ish on a TV I want to get it right

Regards

I have been looking in the shops again today and saw an LG 42PX5D with a very impressive demo runnig on it. However looking at the specs the recommended PC resolution is 640*480 via RGB or the HDMI connector.

I intend to connect a PC (Windows Media Centre 2005 runnign a freeview tuner) and consoles such as PS2.

Is LCD the way to go? the LG plasma looked great compared to the quality of the Samsung LCD in the store? Is anyone running media centre on a LG?

Thanks again
