What Tv Should I Buy?

I am looking for an HDTV, and came across a problem. My price range is anywhere from $450-$500, and I saw two different TVs that were in that price range that I liked. One TV was a 32" Sony Bravia/ 1080p / 60hz / LCD TV priced at $494.99. The other is a 42" Insignia/ 720p / 600hz / Plasma screen TV, priced at $449.99. So what I was wondering which is better? A 32" LCD TV with 1080p and 140,000:1 contrast ratio, or a 42" Plasma screen with 720p and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio?

Suggestion:

Sony is a better make of TV, however plasmas are better than LCDs. If it were me, I would personally go with the Insignia 42" plasma. It has a better contrast ratio, and better refresh rate for a decent price. Its only 720p but that is still good quality. You will get better performance out of the plasma than you would from the LCD.
