Neither: DLP or even LCoS gives you the most bang for the dough.

F1 looks great on my LCD, make sure you get one capable of 1080p and you'll be laughing in a few years...

So plasma is dead? What about screens with width of 50 inches and bigger?

Well, plasma and LCD are both nice. But a new technology that you may want to investigate is LCoS. I just bought a 60" LCoS last year and the picture is amazing, Id argue that the color is more vibrant then any plasma I've seen. For about 1/2 the cost of a plasma you can get a LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicone chip) TV.

How does it compare with plasma for reflections and half-life?

Not sure. Mine is in a room with windows and skylights and I don't have any issue with reflections or glare. I checked out some customer reviews on the model I purchased before hand and the only issue I found was someone blew there speakers and another's wouldn't turn on after a year

But I took my chances considering all the horror stories I've heard with plasma. Haven't regretted it since.
