      Would certainly be better than it's plasma equivalent. LCD is better quality, but size has been the limiting factor. But now, obviously, they're able to produce pretty large LCD screens.

        I think that's an obscene amount of money to pay for a TV, no matter how good the quality is

              somehow seems pricey for 42" - a GOOD plasma is pretty damn clear and I THINK -maybe I'm wrong??? - but less than 1/2 that cost????

                    from what i've read, LCD blows away plasma. lasts much longer too. yes, you can get a MUCH larger plasma for around the same amount of cash.

                    i've looked at smaller plasma's side by side with lcd, and you could definitely see the difference. haven't seen one this large though (largest LCD built?).

                        That's awesome but a bit pricey for 42". I think 60" go for that price?

                          I have seen the large lcds side by side with plasma in the local sony store.

                          LCD looks like the stuff is actually real. So real you just wanna reach out and grab it, the plasma is... well just a tv.

                          LCD is worth every penny imo.

                            plasma's have *terrible* burn in problems, don't leave a game console paused for too long, don't leave CNN (or any channel w/ a "ticker") running too long, don't watch too much network tv w/ a non-moving watermark too long...

                            LCD's have absolutely no burn in at all, so that set is definitely worth the money. i've had two plasma sets already and got rid of both when the burn-in became too pronounced..

                              They are great with a DVD or HDTV source but are -terrible- with broadcast TV.

                              My 4:5 Wega is a far better set IMHO.

                              But those plebian chicks love the flatscreens.

                                I have a couple plasmas and never saw any burn in problems. Stop buying cheap stuff and being stupid with whats on it.

                                    Thats dumb cause cable looks like shit anyway and even dvd's have there limits. Buy a plasma for $3000 instead, they still sharp as fuck.

                                        plasma is a shitty technology and on its way out, LCD and DLP are way better

                                                    uh, like i said already, that kind of shit would never fit in this little den/library. i require something elegant, unobtrusive, and with almost no footprint. and i don't want to have blinds in the fucking room.

                                                      Oh one thing I bought that is a must have is the Panasonic E80H
                                                      hard drive recorder. Best thing I bought in 2003. The picture quality is excellent.

                                                          i love crt. i bought my mom the 40 inch XBR Sony last year - the picture is AWESOME. unfortunately, the thing is absolutely massive - weighs around 600 lbs... great TV though no doubt.

                                                          hard drive recorder sounds like a great idea.
