It would also be helpful if you can recommend a Samsung 50" 1080p television costing around â¬1,700 for me based on the answer. I'm confused :3
Answer
Plasma will deliver you the best overall image, especially in a TV of that size. It will provide better blacks, colors, and contrast, just inherent to the technology. It will also provide better playback of fast motion images as its response time is near instantaneous (like that of CRT). But you do want to condition it. For the first 100-200 hours of use, crank the brightness and contrast down to warm up the gasses. Then optimize it and enjoy.
LED LCD is the best kind of LCD on the market. By using the LED backlight those LCD HDTVs are able to vastly improve their colors, blacks, and contrasts. They are not quite as good as a Plasma, but are getting damn close (and for many, close enough that they couldn't tell). But they are still inherently weak on fast motion and suffer from motion blur issues. Hence the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates (or I guess 100Hz and 200Hz for you).
LCD is the everyman HDTV. For the mid-range sizes they are just cost effective and accessible. If you want to move into an HDTV at a low cost they're the way to go for most people. So they serve their purpose in the consumer landscape.
Pioneer Kuro Elites are the best Plasmas out there period, but cost a fortune. More within your budget I would look to a Panasonic Viera 850/800 series Plasma HDTV. I think that would be your best image. Or this year's model is the TC-L50G10. The S1 is also a decent option and a bit cheaper.
If you're sold on Samsung though, their Plasmas are solid options as well. Any of the PS50A556 - A558 should be fine. I'm not sure what the subtle differences are with those 3 sets, but can't image its vastly different considering they're all 5 series TVs.

Plasma vs LED picture quality?
.
I know Plasma's generally look best in a dark room, and LED's look good in any lighting conditions... but which TV type looks better overall? Is the overall best picture a Plasma 1080p 600Hz?
Answer
We went through a similar consideration process before getting our HDTV.
Plasma's are good for fast action, like sport, but run hotter, use more power, are expensive to repair. This is a reason why they are so cheap.
LED's give a better depth of picture, sharper colour, much better for slower on-screen movements, run cooler and use less electricity.
All in all, it comes to personal preference. It depends on what you intend on watching more of. More sport = plasma; anything else = LED.
