well lcd technology now is has incredible refresh rates, unlike those of just a few years ago. they have excellent performance (the new pricey ones), as far as fast movement and explosions go. they also are as thin as plasmas, and will never ever get screen burning from resonant images like the comedy central logo or the little ESPN in the corner. so that means you can play video games as long as you want on them and never worry about seeing the life meter when you go channel surfing. hurray for LCDs!
