After about two years plasmas will start to fade and the picture will gradually become darker and darker until you will not be able to see anything on the screen. This is because plasmas work by exciting gasses trapped in little tiny bubbles and the collective of those tiny gass bubbles make up your screen. Because of this plasmas can very easiily burn in (about about 20~30 minutes), very noisey because of the fans needed to cool the screen down and consume too much electricity because of the sheer number of gas bubbles that need to be manipulated.
LCD on the other hand is very expensive but it will last you practically forever. When your LCD screen goes dead all you have to do is change the light panel in the back (~$200 USD) and you are good as new. Panasonic and Samsung said they have broken the current LCD barrier and they are prioducing LCD screens with a size of 70 inces. Hopefully this will push the price down for smaller LCD TVs.
If you are looking for something stylish, durable and that will get your the most for your money I would go with a Sony XBR series TV (Rear Projection LCD) http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTE...ection&Dept=tv Hope this helped...


This isnt true about the 2 years thing. All Mine have a 40,000 hour guarentee.. Thats a lot longer than 2 years and I dont watch tv 24/7 either.

That's it exactly.

personally I'm waiting for the price to drop.

Consider a projection TV. Low radiation I would think, quality is great, lasts forever.

for now I would go for plasma... http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/ for some reviews

LCD will be better, but I'm not buying one now.

strobi 01-04-2005 03:38 PM

I would suggest the PANASONIC TH-50PHD6UY -> little bit over your budget (6000$) but what a set! Seen to be believed.

or check out this one ->

around 2000-2300$

from everything that i've read
the latest generation plasma is better than LCD in terms of brightness, color and viewing angle.

you have to calibrate it after you get it from the store and turn down the "torch" settings it comes with from the factory to avoid burn-in.


DLP's are high maintenance since if your bulb burns you'll have to pay an additional $200-400 for a new bulb\

LCDs last longer, allegedly, and have no burn-in issues

jigg 01-04-2005 04:41 PM

and if you go with plasma, go with the latest sets, not something made 2 years ago

Thanks for all the comments.
I'm leaning towards plasma right now.
Any good recommendations for a reliable online seller? I like CircuitCity's 30-day return policy at their physical stores, although their prices are regular retail price, and I would imagine there are better deals on the web.

I suggest ignoring anything in this thread. Lots of contradictory stuff and mis-information.

We are still 2 generations away from things settling down. If you NEED flat panel, plasma is likely the best bet right now. But if you are going to be 10' plus away from it and don't really need it to be flat, take a look at the Hitachi LCD rear projection sets 50, 60 or 70 vs810). They are a good bit larger for a lot less money and are still less than 2' deep and fit nicely on the shelf where the old tube TV sat.
