A better question you should be asking is LED vs Plasma. You can read a lot about both but the quick and dirty is that plasmas offer darker blacks and more lifelike skin tones. LEDs offer smaller weight, thinner profiles, and more capability for brightness.

I replaced a close to top of the line LED tv (2012 Samsung 7000 Series 55") with a close to top of the line plasma (2013 Panasonic ST Series 55") and am very happy with the transition. The LED TV was very bright and was fantastic for a hockey game but any time you had people on the screen such as in a movie, I found it to have a very "computer game" type characteristic that I didn't care for. On the other hand, it also had a smaller bezel and was much lighter, but now that my Panasonic is wall mounted, I am extremely happy with the choice.
