LCD or Plasma Screens?

Here's my 2 cents. We recently made a change in our media presentation for the same reasons. In my research, I found that Plasma's are better than they used to be when it comes to burn in on the screen and the prices have dropped quite a bit. However, plasma's have a glassier look to the screen and you might have a new problem with your lights reflecting off the screen instead of washing it out. Also, in the larger size you'd be looking for, LCD's are still rather expensive, especially when compared to projectors. We decided to just get a better projector and it has made a world of difference. I'd recommend looking for something with at least 3000 lumens and you'll avoid the wash out from windows and lights. I found a brand new NEC on ebay that puts out 3500 lumens and it cost around $900 with shipping. It will project at least twice the size of your best LCD or Plasma and we have no washout issues with the lights and shades up on a sunny Sunday morning.
