LCD or Plasma
 

Have looked online at a few articles that discuss the pros and cons of the two different technologies but am looking for real world user suggestions on what technology to harness for home entertainment purposes.

I'd also be interested in finding out what makes and models people suggest. I'm in the market for a 37" or 42" so with that in mind, please feel free to share your views with me.

Cheers ...

got 42' panasonic plasma and I am quite happy with that.Anyway some movies allows you to see that plasma is not so "fast" - can see some shadows during the fights in matrix - saw that yesterday so this thread reminds me ...

my buddy had a plasma that burned from playing games, maybe it was a fluke, but I would buy the LCD

The burning and ghosting are things I am concerned about, which is why I am currently favouring the LCD. Another reason is the longer life on LCD vs Plasma.

...

I have 2 42" plasmas and a 50"

I also have an LCD tv.

I would take plasma any day because I think the brightness and overall picture looks better

damn.. wanted to buy a plasma but this scares me

I think its common knowledge this MAY happen?

listen what I posted is just a detail - I am fucking happy with that plasma and you will be too

I love both, I honestly can't see the differnce

so eberyone so far reckons that a Plasma is better than an LCD?

...

I'm having the same thing going through my head right now buddy. Just bought my first house and I want a big fat TV. Not sure on wether to get a Plasma or LCD.

Plasma's have really come down in price in the past 3 months. Can pick up a real nice 42" for £1000 nowadays.

have 2 plasma's 42" philips with the e-box

i find plasma easier on the eye's after looking at a computer screen all the time.

LCD for me :thumbsup

How you been mate, long time no "speak" .... didn't think it would take you too long to buy your first house; you've a good head on your shoulders!

...

Thanks man! Yeah I'm good. Busy, which is always a sign of good times I guess.

How's things with you and the missus? Pass on my best wishes!

The samsung 42" plasma is stunning!!

Simple shot answer.. Plasma all the way.

DLP, LCD, PLASMA in that order.

for now: LCD.

I'm in the market for a 50inch plasma also what are the best ones out there? i hear the pioneer and panasonic are the best 50inchers right now.. any opinions?

I have a panasonic monster and it´s quality is great. We tested also some more in a media shop but I didn´t like this visible pixels that I could see mostly at all the other plasmas. Panasonic seems to be the best quality.

I bought the Sony KDF-WF655 LCD HDTV and I love it! I even got the TV Stand for free. It was a very nice deal.

Pioneer pdp 5050HD is what I have, I LOVE it for games, movies and HD.

Regular old tv looks a little crappy tho when you get used to HD

I would go with plasma

If you visit you local Circuit City or similar store you can see for your self I favor LCD above the short lived Plasma. The color is better the image sharper and the viewing angle greater (170 degrees). LCD's have a far greater life than Plasma screens. The only downside is the price and size, LCD's are just getting to the 50 inch size and the cost is higher than the equivalent Plasma.

Bottom line take a trip to your local store and see which picture quality you like the best!

It depends, does the room have allot of direct sun light? Or people sitting right in front or are some at an angle?

A plasma looks better hands down, the blacks, grays and skin tones are way better. You don't really notice these things unless you view the two side by side, then the LCD's faults are obvious.

If you play a ton of games and are in a dark room sitting in front then an LCD is fine.

If you are in a room with allot light, and have people viewing at angels, then Plasma is the way to go. Also the new sets do not have the burn in issues like the old ones,

50"
 

This is my setup, 50" LG they run about 4k now.

My room is large and I have a ton of natural light, so a plasma was the right choice for me, keep the room and conditions in mind before buying.

That LG looks pretty sweet, nice setup!

i just ordered the Philips 42PF9830 which looks very promising. A 42" LCD with Ambilight 2 and Pixel Plus 2 HD. The newest model from philips in the lcd line
