I have been looking at purchasing a Sony LCD TV (KLV30MR1)or a Plasma TV (PFM4282S). Both are about the same size, look great in terms of picture quality and are closely priced at around A$10k and A$11k, perspectively (Sydney). The Plasma TV needs a seperate receiver & speakers to operate which isn't a problem as I already have a Sony HT system.

My question is which type of screen will give me better service over the longer term? Say over the next 5 to 7 years.

Would greatly appreciate your advice.

Regards
Ian
