Not sure what's best, I don't think many people will have both so an honest personal opinion is going to be tricky.

I have a Samsung LE32R41BD (32" LCD) and very happy with it, dvds, xbox360 (HD is excellent), PC - all looks amazing on it, NTL digital is fine if watched at the right distance, but I can't say much for analogue tv though, on these tv's the bigger the screen the worse the pic can be, so the further back you have to sit. Don't get a 50" monster if you have a small room.

I think price wise, LCDs are better value for money at the mo.

Not sure about sound, always best to have a seperate home theatre set up anyway, if you pay out that amount for a tv then you have to get the sound system too.

As for plasma's it is a case of you get what you pay for at the mo. And I went for LCD as I didn't like the idea of the image burn in problems and shorter life span (ok LCDs you can get dead pixels so nothing is perfect).

I had NTL analogue to start with and after paying out for the tv I was in 2 minds to send it back, the picture was awful, so only get one if you have a digital tv service, if not stick with CRT till you upgrade.

Another thing is don't go by the sizes in the shops, when you check out the 50" and then look at the 32" they look like portables in the shops but when you get the 32" home it's a lot bigger than you thought. So measure up first.

Hope that helps
