I have an LG 60" inch plasma and it has been great. Many people always try to scare you when it comes to Plasmas but if you simply do your research you'll see that Plasma technology has improved a lot. I know just as many people who have had a fair share of problems with LED's/LCD's.
I highly recommend checking out www.avsforum.com, great message board to check out when TV shopping. It helped me when I decided to purchase a plasma. I was initially wary considering all the bad things but checking that board out, lifted the wariness.
