Hi,

Our lab is planning to buy a large screen display (about 40" ),
to demonstrate the experiment result. The video input will be
from PC.

Could anyone give me some suggestion on which one to buy?

Thanks a lot!

Plasma suffers from image burn if the display is static, LCD may be a
better option.

While I'm not able to give you a specific suggestion, the issue is the
electronics, not the actual display panel (e.g. it's not a plasma vs.
LCD issue)

The latest plasma's have fixed that problem by subtly moving or
alterning the display so that nothing is truly static at the pixel level.

[Interestingly, this is a variation of something that was done with
Monochrome Image Orthicon TV imaging tubes back in the early 1950's, to
prevent burn-in at the camera end]

Two other factors come to mind...

1) Cost - Plasmas are, in general, more expensive than LCDs.

2) Altitude - If you happen to live/work in a high altitude region,
have a look at http://tinyurl.com/377q5.
