If budget wasn't a concern, the best LED TVs are now better than the best plasma TVs. Period. This is some good simple reading on the technical reasons why this is possible: Plasma vs. LCD vs. LED: Which HDTV Type is Best? | PCMag.com

There have been some amazing plasma TVs over the years (think Pioneer Kuro) but the current 2012 lineup of LED products is pretty awesome. I have a 2011 Samsung 7000 series and I am very happy with it, I don't think I will upgrade until the new AMOLED products are affordable (read: not $10,000).

It still holds true today. In the PC mag articular they take about the Sharp elite in the image quality section. It may have great blacks but it suffers from the soap opera effect. My buddy has a 70 inch sharp and the soap opera effect kills the PQ. Also many back lit led TV's have problems with local dimming. I still say that Plasma's have the best picture quality.
