    LCD or plasma TV?

    So I saved some extra money - see sig - and gonna buy a new flat 42" in few days. Not for playstation and such, but for DVD and streaming digital broadcast.

    I'm not world champion within TVs, so what do you recommend? Plasma or LCD? Any specific screen you're satisfied with (price don't matter)?

              I'd go for plasma.
              LCD is not that great IMO.

              I have a Pioneer PDP-435HDE and I love it.

                  Plasma,
                  For fast passed action plasmas are a lot better and the colors are a lot more close to the crt tv's. And what they say about plasmas life is no longer true, the half life of a plasma is about 6 years and then it can still be used as a descent basement TV. I mean most of TV's now have about a 5 year life span. Also plasmas have an a lot bigger viewing angle. Go for Pioneer or LG . MYself I have an LG and had no problems with it. And yeah burnt pixels are only caused by shock that means if you never hit the screen itself pixels will not burn )

                      LCD is cool to watch photo's on but for movies it's not close to a good plasma tv.
                      Get a plasma tv and a dvd player with an HDMI connection and I bet you'll love it.

                          If you want one larger than 42" like a 52" TV, does one make more sense than the other? I thought after a certain size one starts to become the obvious choice.

                                  whichever one you go with, I'd get an LCD as they last longer, make sure it is an HDTV as quite a few manufacturers throw out plasma tvs that are not so they can offer them cheaper. A lot of low resolution screens out there cheap too so research it. For plasma I'd get a Sony, Pioneer, Phillips or Fujitsu (P42HHA30WS). For LCD I'd get a Sharp.

                                              42" or higher, plasma makes more sense (more affordable, more models available)

                                              There aren't very many LCDs 42" or larger, and the ones that are available are VERY expensive.

                                              I bought a little 26 inch LCD for above my fireplace. Nice little TV. I just stick to rear projection for my big TV.

                                                      39inch plus: plasma is the way to go

                                                      + plasma will avoid the 'tail' you get after a ball in a tennis match (a common complain for lcds)

                                                      i have a sony 39inch HD readyand i LOVE IT
                                                      go sony, one of the best on plasma technology!

                                                              I'd wait some time till the big LCDs will have really good and big resolutions.
                                                              So far, big lcds have similar resolutions to middle ones and that's why it looks so shitty.

                                                                              So far, big lcds have similar resolutions to middle ones and that's why it looks so shitty.
                                                                              Assuming the LCD's catch up to Plasma in resolution on larger TV's, which is the better deal (quality, lifespan, price...)?

                                                                                                          but if u got money to burn every year, then i would be a new plamsa every year or two.

The quality was very good, and more than 42" would be too big

                                                                                                                                                                                          I have an LCD TV too. I also looked at the DLP and they probably are the best bang for the buck. The picture quality is real close to the plasma. But with LCD and DLP tvs, you almost need to see the tv straight on. If you are viewing from an angle you seem to lose the picture. But if you want the best in HDTV, plasma is the way to go. I have a 42' Panasonic, with HD-DVR...the high def channels are so crisp and clear its amazing.
