Plasma or LCD?

[kerosene]

My parents got us a 42" LCD for Christmas. It was a shock, because we had absolutely no idea they were getting it and it must have been expensive (!!!) We certainly wouldn't have been able to afford it ourselves. Anyway, the living room we have is monstrous, so, it actually looks kind of small, but the couch is sort of in the middle of the room, so it isn't so far away. probably 10 ft away at most. And yes, the couch is the only place to sit in our enormous living room. it looks kind of barren in there.

My dad said he asked the people at Sears whether or not plasma would be better. Apparently the salesperson told him that people who live at higher altitude tend to have trouble with the plasmas. That made the decision, since we live at 9000 ft above sea level. Has anyone else ever heard that about plasmas and altitude? Not that I don't like the LCD...I love it, but the altitude thing was curious to me.
