Depends again on specifically what size of set you are looking at
purchasing. There are LCD Projection sets and LCD Televisions. As noted,
plasma sets have a problem with burn-in which in greatly minimized in the
LCD and DLP technologies The LCD and DLP Projection sets use lamps that can
be an issue. Get some more information, go to the local retailers and look
at the features within your spending limits, then buy what you want. Suggest
the extended service agreement.

Both have many advantages and disadvantages, suggest you do some
research online as well as compare models of both types in the store.
It's too broad of a subject to give you a simple answer.

Obvious differencelasmascreens do burn in easely.

Unless you have a real need for a flat screen hanging on your wall, I'd
stick with CRT for as long as they are around. Many of the problems on
both LCDs and plasmas are not supported to component level by the
manufacturers. Replacing boards is fine as long as the unit is under
warranty, but an expensive exercise, when it's not.

If you really want one, go to the store and ask to see a sports programme
where there's plenty of movement. Plasmas are reknowned for generating
movement artifacts, which can be quite annoying to watch. Don't make the
mistake, though, of looking at a 54 inch plasma screen from 2 feet away.
You'll see all sorts of nasties that wouldn't be apparent at a normal
viewing distance.

Some of the Sony stores have good displays of both with proper lighting
and seating. Worth a look to get a better idea of the two, and how they
stack up with respect to each other, and CRT sets.
