Plasma TV's don't have LCD screens. They're plasma screens and they usually will cost more than the TV itself.
The costs associated with purchasing a plasma TV today is significantly less than when they were first released. This is due to the reduced costs incurred for production and the materials used to make the TV's as well as increased manufacturing process efficiencies.
Plasma tvs will vary by brand and size, but will typically cost you something in the range of $600 for one that is around 42 inches. Many of the brands fall within this price range.

You can not re-gas a plasma TV. Plasma TV's are very volatile and, in most professional opinions, are not worth the cost. Did you know, the first plasma screen TVs were hot enough to fry a bacon and egg breakfast on them? This obviously made them a fire risk and a risk to children. Plasma TV's will eventually darken or flicker, as the gas tends to degrade. When this happens depends on how long you use the TV for. A cheaper option would be to buy an LCD TV. They practically look the same as a plasma TV, except they are cheaper and last much, much longer than a plasma before they start going haywire. You can buy a plasma for £6,500 ($10,000 USD) and have it break down a few years later. Or you can buy an LCD for £3,000 ($4,600 USD) and pass it onto your grandkids when you die.
