MY dad's old Sony RPLCD had the light engine/optical block go out last Xmas, so they went with a 60in LG plasma and it looks really good after I spent some time setting it up. They love it. I had to replace 2 of my tv's due to a lightning strike about 3-4 months ago. I went with the 60in LG LED 60LN5710 and it has all the latest LG smart features, that I don't use since I have WDTV boxes, but the picture is really good. Football and movies look awesome on it. It looks as good as the 50in plasma I have in the bedroom. We also bought a 46in LG LED smart tv for the townhouse in Las Vegas a few months ago, but I have a wdtv out there and we probably won't ever use the tv's built in smart features. I'm not into the hardcore videophile top of the line stuff anymore, most of the middle of the line stuff suits my viewing needs perfectly.
I have a lot of windows in my living room, so I couldn't use a plasma in it, the glare was just too much. So consider where you are putting the tv. Plasma and LED can both have great pictures just consider the environment you're using it in.
