What is better for playing video games, LCD or Plasma T.V.?

I ordered my kids a new 50" Plasma T.V. for their Game Room, but am now being told I should have gotten an LCD due to "ghost images" and the T.V. only lasting 5 years. It has not been delivered yet, so should I cancel and get the other? ( It was $2,400, so I don't want to spend that much for nothing).

    You want to make sure you have a "gaming" tv - it eliminates the lag you get between an HD box like xbox 360 and a high def or digital tv. I know this is an issue with digital tv's and there are LCD with the gaming enhancement.

    LCD, you shouldnt play games on a plasma, as 1) they are more prone to get burn it and ghost images. 2) since its for kids they will tend to leave the tv on and walk away which is what causes burn ins.
