Strictly going by image quality only really good plasmas can compete.

Plasmas cost a lot more than LCDs here, which is sad.

The top range plasma TV's do compete with CRT. That's why strictly speaking I prefer the current plasma tech. LCD has defiantly swamped the screen market for 40" and below. You wont find anyone buying a small plasma and that's probably due to plasma screens not 1080p. Small plasma screens are at best 720p or SD. However I feel that resolution can be over rated and that 720p can suffice on smaller screens, and having better contrast helps improve IQ. It all depends on how far you're sitting from the screen and what you're displaying.

LCD is just a fundamentally flawed technology where it needs back lighting to work. That in itself will always lend itself to poor contrast. and these LED back lighting screens are a joke, they don't really do much to improve the contrast.

Once OLED is mass produced then we will have a new screen technology victor that will produce better colours, and crap on all technology with way better contrast.
