I would go LCD all the time. Plasma has a shorter lifespan and its easier to mess them up due to the way the technology works.

I've never had a plasma TV, so I have no idea, how long they last or how they work. I have a LCD monitor and it's lasted a very long time and the quality is amazing. :) Well compared to CRT. :D Since I don't have a LCD TV, I'm just assuming that the LCD TV'S are similar to LCD monitors, last a long time and have amazing quality. :D

My only issue with LCD is, the fact that if you look from the side or something like that you won't see clearly... just like laptops.. But I don't know if this still applies to LCD Tv's.

Plasma TVs have a much better picture quality if you are watching high-def not to mention you can look at them from any angle.

But I guess they are much more expensive and their lifetime is like 3000 hours right?

I doubt it is that low. We watched about 2,500 hours worth of TV on our DLP (I know because the bulb will exploded and we had to buy a new one, $200) and that only took a year. Plasma tvs are expected to last 30,000hrs and 60,000hrs. You can read more at the Plasma FAQs:

The Disadvantages of Plasma TV
-Potential Burn-In: Because of the phosphor technology in Plasma TVs (see How Plasma TVs Work), it is possible for traces of an image to be 'burned-in' to the display. This is generally only a concern in commercial uses, where images are displayed for long-periods of time. Those that watch stations that offer news tickers may also need to be careful. Burn-in can generally be avoided by making sure that you do not keep a constant image on the screen for extended periods (sometimes as little as 20 minutes), either by turning the television off, or changing the channel.
-Lower Brightness: Although still considerably brighter than rear-projection TVs, direct view and LCD TVs often are able to provide a brighter picture.
-Not the Lightest or Slimmest: A lighter, slimmer technology does exist: LCD TVs.
-Price: Yes, this is a disadvantage and an advantage. Although Plasma TVs are considerably cheaper than comparably-sized LCD or LCoS TVs, they do cost more than direct view and rear-projection TVs.
-Shorter Life: Compared to other television technologies, Plasma TVs do generally have a shorter life span, and there is no option to repair a burnt out tube or backlight. Most Plasma TVs have a life span of 20,000-30,000 hours based on manufacturer's estimates. This life span is commonly referred to as the Plasma TV half-life, as it is the number of hours over which the Plasma TV will loose approximately half of it's brightness.
-Fragility: Plasma TVs are a very fragile technology, and the units are quite easy to damage. Extreme care must be used when moving them, as even laying the Plasma display on it's side can have adverse effects, possibly damaging the unit irreparably.
Go for an LCD. :)
