LCD screens don't get as good quality of blacks or whites because of the nature of the screen, but they're better for when you might have situations with screen glare. Plasmas get better blacks but you always run the risk of screen burn and the screens are much brighter, but if you're in a room where sunlight gets in easily you'll have some glare issues. I've had a plasma TV before my mom burned it out falling asleep watching a DVD, so I can attest to the better contrast, but the LCD in my room looks just fine, especially since newer LCD TVs have much more improved contrast ratios.

Plasma TVs are also much heavier than LCD TVs and LED TVs. I've seen LED TVs in stores but I haven't spent an extended amount of time with them so I can't vouch for them personally although I'm sure 3D LED TVs are great quality. They're also very, very thin.

It might be worth it in the long run to get a 3DTV if you're interested because you'll be able to take advantage of your PS3 as a 3D Blu-ray player for one, and because the picture quality is usually better on a 3D television, the only problem is you have to worry about the glasses and making sure they have batteries, although the LG Cinema TVs use 3D glasses that don't have batteries and it supports better viewing angles I believe. It's really wide though. They still maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio for films and games that are played in widescreen but that's something to think about.

I'm not a fan of the auto motion 120Hz crap or whatever, that makes everything try to look more fluid. It makes me sick (not like offended sick, my stomach feels weird) after a while to be honest because it doesn't look natural. If something was meant to be shown in 45-50+ fps, it would have been shot that way, not having some algorithms determine what it THINKS it should look like. Film directors choose frame rates by choice because sometimes it works better for things like action films and the like.

I remember the first time I saw it at Best Buy they were demo-ing the TVs with copies of The Dark Knight. Things looked okay when things were moving fast (it was when Batman was riding the motorcycle) but when they could cut to more static and non-moving shots like in the van with Harvey Dent, it seemed really strange, like they were trying to look like you were watching an episode of a daytime soap opera. I had another friend who told me their father had one of those TVs and they tried watching the Nightmare Before Christmas Blu-ray on it, and it didn't go so hot with them either.

If that's your bag then sure, go for it.
