Plasmas get spoilt easily and quickly....... (something to do with the air in the tube). I speak from experienceIt would be best to get an LED because of its long life, low power consumption and Full HD.But if your looking at spending less than a lakh, getting an LCD would be best.

i don't think anyone is interested in watching regular tv programming in 3D all the time.
for a home theatre, go for a Panasonic plasma. 42 is nice, i own one. the blacks plasmas offer are completely out of this world. they can never be matched by lcds. lcds are good for everyday viewing but not for a home theatre. leds are basically lcd with an led backlight. though nowadays burn-ins are a thing of past so you can watch regular stuff on a plasma as well.
i suggest take a dvd of ur choice (300 maybe or avatar) and check the picture quality in the showroom. remember you'll watch stuff in a pitch black room when you watch movies on the hometheatre and not in a glaring showroom so you'll want the maximum blacks.

@bahadurbilla ... Pretty neat. thanks for the information & specially the videos
Bottom line:
LCD is better for most purposes especially bright rooms or daytime viewing, day to day viewing of normal TV channels especially DTH/IPTV which would normally have logos which stay in the same place forever and also for Console gaming or computer connectivity because they don't have burn in problems or other issues that Plasmas generally exhibit
Plasma's are best for watching movies especially in dark/light controlled rooms or motion pictures and capable of producing vibrant colors but bright rooms with lot of windows or lamps could mean poor viewing experience. Also since most plasmas have burn in & other issues if the TV is left with a image in the same spot for long hours then it could leave a permanent mark in long term - so normal sports/news channels or logos from DTH/IPTV of service providers can cause definite issue. On the other hand better movie watching experience or in other words setting up large screen home theaters rooms would certainly mean a Plasma.
PS: LED from what i know are just hybrid versions of LCD with better features and a much higher price tag as of now
@admin:
Thanks for starting this topic, i was also looking out for more information on whether Plasmas are really better than LCD. I was actually tempted to go for Plasma TV considering the price for a similar size LCD of 42-50 inch but now that i did some research on this matter it seems LCD/LED is a better option for my needs in fact because i normally watch TV(Tata Sky +) in daytime and would use it with my PS3 and computer at times.
Getting back to the initial discussion to me since you are planning to use the TV for Airtel DTH/IPTV + also planning to setup Xbox in future LCD/LED sound like a better.

Go for an LED dude ... its got good picture and consumes less electricity... 3D LED from samsung is pretty expensive .. but if you go for a 6 series or a 7 series samsung .. you can have the internet@tv which has many widgets live news, sports, weather updates and youtube and skype on TV too ..
Now this is news for me, i did see some TV's with network connectivity options but didn't know that they are capable of even using widgets - something i could always use
