Upgrade from Older Plasma to new LCD or Plasma?

Guys,

After a little advice from you AV experts :D

Looking at upgrading from my 6 years old Hitachi RGB-only monitor-stylee Plasma, to something newer with HDMI ports etc.

Looking at two models - First is a Toshiba 42AV635DB - 1080P 42" Lcd TV...

specs: TOSHIBA 42AV635DB

Or the Panasonic TX-P42U10B - 42" 1080P Plasma...

Specs: PANASONIC TX-P42U10B

The basic differences seem to be that the Pana has 2x HDMI Vs 4 on the Tosh, and the Tosh has a USB for photos, whereas the Panasonic has an SD-HC. Card/USB are irrelavent as neither would be used in this house (currently using Vista Media centre for this stuff!)

However my main concern is the 50Hz LCD Vs 400Hs Plasma. Can anyone explain the possible differences and which may produce better output? There seems to be negligable difference in the blacks on the screen, which is a difference between RGB/LCD i believe...

unfortunately LED is out of my price Range, so out of the equation at present

Also condisering the LG50" 50PS3000, since thet seems to have all the functions that i would like...

Any advice/feedback would be great!!

Ta
Paul
