Here is what Panasonic says about LCD vs. Plasma, and keep in mind they sell both unlike Westinghouse.

Plasma Comparison with LCD - Contrast

Plasma - Vivid and clear. Because the Plasma TV is a self-illuminating display, it can adjust the intensity of its light emission to express deep blacks.

LCD - Grayish black caused by backlight leakage. Since the LCD must use continuous backlighting to display images, it is difficult to produce sharp, crisp blacks.


Plasma Comparison with LCD - Viewing Angle

Plasma - Not dependent on viewing angle. Plasmas offer a viewing radius of over 160 degrees -- both horizontally and vertically, so images are sharp and crisp regardless of the viewing angle.

LCD - Dependent on viewing angle. The contrast of an LCD TV decreases remarkably when the display is viewed from the angle of 45 degrees.

Plasma Comparison with Large Screen (37 inch or larger) LCD - Moving Image Response

Plasma - Scenes with movement also have clear images. Plasma is the most suitable for displaying fast moving images, like sports action.

Large Screen LCD - Some afterimages when viewing content containing extremely rapid movement.


Plasma Comparison with LCD - Color Reproduction

Plasma - Plasma reproduces richer colors.

LCD - Slightly inferior compared with plasma.

Plasma Comparison with LCD - Screen Life

Plasma - More than 60,000 hours before they're only half as bright as when they were new. That's 20+ years at 7 hours a day (which is the average daily viewing time per U.S. household).

LCD - More than 60,000 hours before they're only half as bright as when they were new. That's 20+ years at 7 hours a day (which is the average daily viewing time per U.S. household).
Bottom line.... Company propaganda is just that, and not much more.....
