The first Plasma TV was invented in 1964. It wasn't really a model of TV because it was still experimental at the time. The technology was invented by Donald Bitzer and Gene Slottow.
Plasma and HDTV are not comparable since Plasma is a type of screen and HDTV is a type of video. Meaning that a Plasma TV can run HDTV on it, so there is no need to compare the two.
There is only Plasma in Plasma HDTV's. Not all HDTV's. It is part of the technology that creates your picture. Like a tube in an older television.

The Viera-TH-46PZ850U-46 Plasma TV is HDTV compatible.
Panasonic is best. If it's a Plasma HDTV you want....well Panasonic is your best bet. Panasonic is a world leader in Plasma technology in it's HDTV's. Samsung produce great LCD HDTV's but in my opinion these have yet to rival the picture quality of Plasma's. After months of viewing HDTV's I have just purchased the latest state of the art Panasonic Plasma model TH-PY800.
The LCD offers a more clearer contract rather then a plasma since the plasma has more a of smear look with the HDTV that is added to the TV, however they are both are pretty compareable when it comes to the HDTV added to the TV.
you are comparing apples to oranges. HDTV is an umbrella which LCD falls under. Plasma is also under that umbrella. LCD is a type of HDTV
LCD tv by far!
