It's only natural that the supersizing of the American TV over the last decade or two would eventually spawn some diet programs. A 50-inch HDTV built in the traditional CRT-based rear-projection television format is a major hog, taking up a hunk of floor space and weighing 100 pounds. As a result, flat-panel displays have sprung up as a popular alternative to bulky CRTs. There are two kinds of flat-screen TVs: plasma and LCD. Both technologies have made it possible to build very shallow, relatively lightweight TV screens with large picture areas. Both carry higher prices than their bulkier brethren, as well, although the gap is narrowing in some cases. But there are differences between plasma and LCD TVs that you should consider before purchasing one or the other.

Highlights:
You get what you pay for in plasma, which means you can't expect to get the same picture quality from a $1800 42-inch display that you would from a same-size model selling for $3000, a more typical price.
