Your friend is half correct. Plasmas produce richer blacks that LCDs can't match. LCDs, on the other hand, produce a brighter picture that is ideal for daytime viewing and black levels are decent (depending on your level of tolerance) for night time viewing.

Regarding lag - it doesn't depend on either technology. Sony's existing lineup of Bravia TVs offers lower input lag than any Plasma out there. The W800A has the lowest input lag ever recorded on an HDTV. Hence, if this is your primary requirement, I would suggest that you save up some more and get the 42 inch Sony W800A.

Otherwise, you could go for a 46 inch Samsung ES5500, which should approximately fall within your existing budget of 70K.

Also, you didn't mention if 3D was a requirement.

first i am really thankful for you reply
no 3d is not requirement
so you are recommending me sony w800a which is 3d i think
can you tell me anything other then w800a. with lowest input lag and really good when it come to black background

and as long as samsung in concerned i will consider your advice before purchasing so es5500 is best in my price range or anything better

You could also consider the 40 inch Sony W700A. It doesn't support stereo 3D, and should fall within your budget. Black levels are good for an edge-lit panel (best blacks on an LCD are achieved via backlit array, but such TVs are really expensive), and input lag is also low.
