Advantage LCD..

"LCDs are bright and beautiful, even when watched in the hot scorching desert. They also use less power than plasma or CRT sets because, and I read this on C-Net, they're magic."

LCDs are cool, we'll give you that. They're usually a bit brighter than other sets, and are usually easier to watch in brightly lit rooms. However, if you want to turn off the lights and watch something fairly dark and creepy -- you might not want a set that's too incredibly bright. Besides that, plasmas and CRTs usually have much better color capabilities, and don't have problems with response-time (and motion artifacting) as LCD screens do.Japan's Green Purchasing, an organization that's dedicated to promoting environmentally-friendly purchasing for all manner of consumers, recently did a study which concluded that in general, power consumption is nearly the same in similar-sized plasma, CRT and LCD displays. We should mention, however, that the next generation of LCDs will be using LED backlighting (while delivering much, much better color), and will consume almost twice as much power as they do now.
