Also take into account the room you are going to be putting it in. If its a room that gets a lot of sun I would go with a LCD just to cut down the reflections. I bought a plasma and love it but the room I have it in doesnt get that much natural light.

ProRankTracker · 01-21-2008, 09:51 AM

Depends on

Size:
> 37" = Plasma
< 37" = LCD

Uses:
TV, DVD = Plasma
Computer, Game Console = LCD

Why waste your money with a plasma or LCD?
Get a laser beam. Nothing better than a HD movie streaming directly to your brain

Forest · 01-21-2008, 09:56 AM

im buying a 42'' and found some real bargins on 1080p plasmas

I watch TV and movies so I would need the best for both

ProRankTracker · 01-21-2008, 10:00 AM

42" for TV and movies - Definitely plasma..

LCD is better for smaller sizes and for uses like connecting your PC to it or for games consoles.

Of course there are always exceptions and it all depends on your budget.

Yo Adrian · 01-21-2008, 10:01 AM

The TV/Movies thing doesn't make sense.. plasma is WAY better in every aspect (except for ghosting which it's prone to).

I had a 32" LCD for a couple of years and upgraded to a 42" plasma last year.. I'll never go back to LCD, never. The quality of plasma is awesome, especially when viewing it from angles, the image does not get washed out whatsoever

jalami · 01-21-2008, 10:37 AM

I always figured LCDs last longer because they don't produce the huge furnace of heat that plasmas seem to make. My father runs an electronic parts distributor and tells me that he absolutely loves plasmas because the parts fry so often due to overheating, usually the day after the warranty expires, and he can't keep some parts on the shelf.

I agree .. i have two 32" LCD's and two 42" Plasma's in the house and the Plasma's are why nicer. i put the LCD's in the playroom and bedroom but my main TV room is Plasma and my Office is Plasma. the color is better and i don't get trails like i do on the LCD's ..

im going to buy an additional year warranty not matter what I buy. for the extra 180.00 its worth it as I learned from my last lcd that cost me 500.00 to fix.

I have both and prefer my plasma to LCD, the picture is much more vibrant but the LCD is a much lighter TV and easier to mount on the wall

Seems you have some very old LCD panel

I'm pretty happy with my 42" LCD one especially if I use it to watch quality DVD's on my home theater set. The most important thing - you need a DVD player which is able to rescale DVD picture into HDV format, and course it must be connected to your panel via HDMI interface. It your player or panel don't support HDMI - just throw it into window

Bigger screens - plasma, plus better image in the dark or low light, better action movies and sports, better for TV
smaller screens - LCD, better for games/consoles, PC, DVDs, still photos, better image (more brightness) in light, that's why they look better in showrooms ...

You can pickup a Sony KDF-50E2000, 50-Inch for under a grand these days. Just bought one yesterday while I send my 55 inch in for repair.

It's great so far, no complaints and I've tried HDTV, DVDs and Wii games on it.

However if you go for a more expensive tv, I'd choose LCD over Plasma. Plasma parts bur out more frequently and for video gaming the refresh rate usually sucks.

My ex just bought that exact TV last month. He got it online with free shipping and no tax and it was less than $3k. I thought that was a pretty good deal compared to what I paid for mine (Samsung but smaller size and contrast) over a year ago.

I don't have anything to compare by, but I was planning to buy a plasma and literally every place I went told me to get the LCD.

G-Rotica · 01-21-2008, 04:34 PM

I had 50" plasma, currently have 47" lcd. I prefer the lcd.

SCtyger · 01-21-2008, 04:46 PM

I bought 3 Samsung Plasma screens from Circuit City.. The first one blew out in 1 week. The 2nd one got burn-in after a week (side bars from 4:3 shows). The 3rd one is upstairs in the bedroom.. it's fine, but burn-ins exist.

The living room now has a 1080p LCD. Looks great.. no burn-ins.

If plasma didnt suffer from burn-in.. i'd go with plasma, since it does produce a more vibrant picture. But newer LCDs have much higher contrast ratios now.. and you wont ever have to worry about burn-ins.

I'd go with:
Movies only?: Plasma .. wont have to worry about side-bar burn-ins.
a lot of TV?: LCD... no burn-ins.

Godsmack · 01-21-2008, 05:37 PM

I would say plasma..
I bought a Panasonic 50" full hd plasma and it rocks! even on SD content..
I dont have cable tv, i have a Topfield 7710hdpvr tuner and it upscales SD perfectly. I compared LCD to plasma and i think that plasma wins in every field.. color is very natural, viewing angle is superb.. i have no ghosting effect at all..but i guess all next generation plasma's don't have this..
Games look super, i have 360 connected trough hdmi and my ps3 as well. the only console that doesn't look good is my Wii... but i guess thats coz i have it connected analog trough scart.
LCD is like looking at a computer screen.. i don't like it at all..colors are not natural and black isn't black..

Plasma all the way!

Check what your credit cards offer as bennifits. I know on one of my cards which I purchase my high end items through automatically adds a year of extra warranty at no extra cost if you buy it with that card. Though they will also add a year to an extended warranty as well. Either way it is another free year.

zabijaq · 01-21-2008, 05:51 PM

Go for new models of Panasonic Viera. They are much superior then older (Viera 127cm / 50" was Tv of year 2007). They are real fullHD, that means they can play vids in fullHD resolution (most of fake "fullHD" TVs got fullHD resolutions but can't play videos in such (weak electronics).)

LCD is like large TV, Plasma is like cinema. LCD looks horrible on cable (in my country).

Comparing power consumption is f*****n ridiculous, cause LCD is measured in gray and Plasma in maximum contrast and brightness.

Plasma have 4Giga colors instead of LCDs 16Mega.

Go for better.
