I recently bought a Panasonic Plasma, I had a budget of around £500 and after trawling all the shops Mrs L & I agreed that the picture quality of the Plasmas was noticably better than the LCD/LED TV’s at a similar price point. (I saw some really superb LCD stuff priced at £1000 +) Our only concern was size, Panasonic Plasma TVs start at 42 inch.
The size turned out to be really good, and I am really pleased with the picture and sound quality, it is also very good with non HD channels.
Some say that a Plasma could last only as long as 5 years… TBH, and that is a poor scenario, £100 per year sounds good to me !
