Plasmas are better in 2 areas, no pixels so no dead ones obviously, and they display black better than lcd's. They usually are more expensive if you want a 1080p compatible screen, the price premium going from 42" to 50" is usually pretty hefty as well.

90 % of LCD's that leave the factory have at least 2 dead pixels. 40 to 60 % of the total produced, do not even make it to shipping

. The hazardous waste from these screens is hard to dispose of as well. THis is why LCD's still have a heavy cost.
