Plasma TVs, or LCD is you can make a case for it over a plasma

[dbornack]

Hmmmm.. interesting..

I've been in the tech industry for about 10 years now.. and I don't know if it's jsut me,.. but I notice things that other people rarely do.. such as refresh rates in CRT's.. I've noticed differences between 85-100hz.. even though they say your eye can only see 60 frames per second, which should be equal to about 60hz..

Anyways.. that was a little irrelevant, but.. I'm just saying I notice miniscule things..

i went with an LCD over a plasma, for the sole reason u can ruin a plasma by pausing the picture for too long

i have a dvr and franly i pause it alot to like check email or something

also plasma are not good if u game, and occationally i do game, so thats why i went with an LCD, i have a panasonic 42"

Your statement is mostly false unfortunately.

You can't ruin a plasma by pausing a movie. Burn in is a thing of the past Plasma's are better if you game since they have better refresh rates. And lastly, Panasonic doesn't make a 42" LCD I don't believe.

I was dead set on the Sony XBR 40" LCD (1080p) for my bedroom - viewing distance 9 feet. I really was consumed by the marketing hype that if I bought 720p I would be getting an inferior picture. Hell, even 1080p is marketed as FullHD, as though buying a 720 will give you half the quality!

Anyway, after doing more research and viewing a number of units I chose a plasma -- the Pioneer Kuro PDP 4280 HD. I can honestly say that I mostly watch sports and HD movie channels, and I am really impressed with this unit. I'm told once I hook up a BluRay, it will still look 'really good', even though it's a 720p. Great looking set too....I've had it for two months now hooked up to a Comcast HD box (through HDMI). I have barely touched the surface of this TV's capabilities, but I'm looking forward to exploring more.

I just recommended the following for my friend's wife who was getting him a anny present:

* Sony 40" BRAVIA® W Series LCD Flat Panel HDTV - Model Number: KDL-40W3000 * SAMSUNG 40" LCD TV with 1080p resolution - model:LN-T4065F Both are fine sets...good luck!

Lost Ball has both and doesn't see any difference between them though he has read all the specs difference in both 1080 plasma/lcd TV's

LCD. basically because you can damage a plasma playing video games on it...
