Which is better for playing video games (PS2 or X360)?
Answer:
Both technology have pro & con
LCD come with thinner set,less problem,not burn-in,less power consumption,not glare in bright room and last longer.
Plasma come with better picture quality for dark room,smoother motion but sometime have burn-in problem.
Personally I would go with LCD tv.

Plasma vs LCD
The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:
1. Larger screen size availability.
2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.
3. Better color accuracy and saturation.
4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).
The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:
1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.
2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.
3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.
4. Potentially shorter display life span – this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.
LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:
1. No burn-in of static images.
2. Cooler running temperature.
3. No high altitude use issues.
4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.
5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.
6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.
DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:
1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.
2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) – However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates and 240Hz processing in higher-end LCD sets.
3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches also available to the general public.
4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.
5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing), especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.
Instead of me giving you my own opinion like everyone else, go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the pro and con for the Plasma and the LCD tv. From my own experience of owning both, I purchased a Plasma in 2002 a Pioneer 43" Plasma and it is still running strong today, while my 32" LCD purchased in 2006 is already burned out. If you go to a retail store and view both tvs the LCD will always look brighter, but keep in mind this room is very bright while your home is darker. You will also notice that Panasonic Plasma tvs are recommended in each price category of entry level to the high end, while Sony (LCD), Samsung (LCD) and Toshiba (LCD) does not (December issue). Whatever you get I recommend with staying with the top brands like Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and Toshiba. Hope this will help you out.
everyone always forgets to mention the "red headed step child" of TVs the DLP! amazeing life, truer blacks, amazeing color, cheaper repairs, lower cost! only down side is its not perfectly flat and can be hung up on the wall. check in to DLP most cable guys and TV guys i know have DLP
