Hi Chris
Look closely at screen resolution. From what I've seen lcd has much better resolutions, similar to your Mac screen. Plasma has much lower res, some nearly only 640x480. On a big screen that would look terrible if hooked up to your Mac.

It also depends on what you need to do. Plasmas have burn-in problems that mean they're unsuitable for use with many things, such as computer applications, that leave bright elements on the screen for long periods.

Remember old macs like the Mac Plus that you'd see with a menu bar burned in across the top of the screen? I have idea why on earth Apple made the menu bar WHITE in those days, but anyway.... you'll suffer from similar problems with a plasma display.
