LCD or PLASMA?

Otherwise, the rest of the decision factors should come down to the technical specs of the TVs themselves.

I would agree with this for the most part and certainly as a general rule of thunb. However, my room is quite bright (although no direct sunlight) and I have no issues at all with my plasma display.

This whole issue of room brightness(light) sounds more to me as one created by the LCD camp. Remember the days when CRT was king and, in fact, pretty much the only game in town? We placed our TV's where we wanted and we just closed the curtains if the "light" bothered us.

Watch a lot of BD's? Watch a lot of live Sports? BUY A PLASMA!
