I think a good plasma (panasonic), is offers great picture quality. Black levels are unmatched. However, these slim led tvs are so close to my eye, that I would choose them in a second over a plasma. My samsung is under an inch thick and hugs my wall perfectly, this to me was very important because of where it is situated in my room.

I have 2 samsungs lcd's now (the other is is a few years older). I gave my old panasonic to my sister in law, and it still looks sweet.

Pioneer made the best plasmas, too bad they are out of the biz.
