Great information but what about Projection systems?

Disregard that last post, I didn’t know what a DLP was when I posted that.

I have heard that with the plasma screen TVs that if you leave an image on the screen to long, it will burn that image into the tv. so like with widesreen views those black bars above an below a movie can be burned into a plasma TV.

Personally, i like lcd its looks sharper than the plasma but right now i have a plasma. I’m getting tired of it i might get a new lcd early next year.

So true… It depends on what you want!

I like LCD… I own a 720p LG LCD 42inch… Great TV… Agree I like a sharp image. I think that LCD for me seems like a real to life color… Just depends on the user.

Its always good to look at the T.V. before purchase… Don’t buy online… unless you have seen the t.v and like its picture, options, and reviews.

yah… lcd’s are so much better than normal tv the picture is all ways a lot clearer

Good article. If you don’t need to make a statement, and you have the room, buy a DLP. You will get more screen for the buck. Yes, it is thick; about 12 inches or so. But I place mine in between a wall unit and blends in perfectly. Plus, in three years, if you want (or have to) replace the light bulb, then your picture will look just as good as the day you purchased it.

The reason I prefer LCD was not addressed at all: longevety.

I prefer LCD’s personally, especially after working in a service department of a fairly large store chain, I kept hearing from owners and fellow workers how plasma screens may well be sharper and brighter but they burn out within a few years, the worst the LCD is going to do is have a back light fail which can be replaced or a dead pixel out of the box. When a plasma burns out the screen that’s it, the manufacturer won’t touch it as it’s not a malfunction.

Like Buggs said, inspect the TV your interested in before you buy it, and if you get it installed check the screen and audio for any defects before you sign and let the installers go.

thanx

Plasma has better contrast ratio, The black are more black, the white are more white.. but the rest scores the LCD

Plasma, plasma, plasma, plasma, plasma! I cannot stress this enough, if you like quality color saturation, and watching movies with excellent black levels get a plasma. I’ve had some experience in this area.

im looking to buy an LCD which is a good quality and which is a good size. i sit about 10 feet away would a 32 or 37 be better?

I would say that LCD is more for budget and not a very large screen (

Chris,

Why has the embedded youtube video gotten smaller?

I have to now copy and paste your youtube video in the address bar and watch the video on youtube since the size is bigger there.

The videos here are too tiny. Revert back to the default video size please.

i like lcd

I personally prefer LCD because I have been told that a plasma is more prone to burn-in. We recently purchased a 42″ LCD at my volunteer fire department and I really like it, although the picture isn’t that great because we only have basic cable and it sucks.

We have a 53 inch LCD Sony Xbr Tv. Its amazing!

I pretty much did what you explained and got the best TV for my needs and it works like a dream for me. Not everyone has the same taste in TV some people prefer standard TVs… :(

if money is not a problem buy an lcd hd

my dad got a plasma and i like it it has hook ups so i can display his computer on it as well as watching tvs

Sharpe Aquos 42″ 4ms and 1080p…..best hdtv for the price…amazing picture…really recomend it….$1700 and dropping

I personally like lcd.I mainly use my pc for gaming so i choose not to risk burn-ins, and for some reason, i prefer the sharp crisp colors that the lcd provides.

Sony grand wega 50″ is the best tv out bar none.

Toshiba REGZA 1080 p LCD/HD 42” is where its at!

In my opinion this is what i would do:
Up to 38″ LCD
38″ to 50″ plasma
You really don’t need anything larger but if you do 50″+ Get a projector(they are much cheaper.

LCD is a great technology. It look very nice but they don’t last very long (only 5 year at most). Plasma screen have it’s bad point too. I think they cost too much for what they give.

On the other hand, some new technologies like the OLED screens are getting better and better and they look really great. For a computer, LCD is a very nice technology. I have two Samsung monitor and they look great, but if you want a big screen (42″ or more) wait for the OLED to take is place.

I would rather get an LCD than get a Plasma TV, because they are usually a bit more expensive but they have a higher resolution and last longer.

I hear that smaller LCD screens (such as laptop screens) last longer than the larger sizes.

My cousin has a big screen plasma television that is about 5 inches thick. So I am not sure what you mean by bigger. :|

whats a goood tv for gaming????/ pls respond cuz sum have slow response time

they say that lcd is good for gaming.
but i have a plasma and i feel like the plasma is better

I still like LCD but who knows 10 years from now. I heard there are new technology coming out. When will this end!??!?!

Why did you only include plasma or LCD and not DLP in you remarks about what HDTV to get? I LOVE my Samsung 46 inch DLP!!! I had to get the 46 inch to fit in a cabinet in the family room. It is only 720P but it looks great.

From my humble point of view, LCD technology is way ahead of plasma. You see more and more manufacturers dropping plasma models for LCD. But who knows the future …

plasma ftw

plasma has a guaranteed 60000 hour lifespan. Your backlight has only 10000….

LCD is just plan better and is way ahead of Plasma.

DLP

this guy is kinda weird haha the way he talks

ummm in couple of years they are releasing OLED tv, which is like 4x the 1080p as i heard and they are like 3mm thin.

is 8m/s enought respons time to play games, like CoD 4

this guy is bias .he is against lcd when there is no reson why

Check out my account, digitallanding and click How To Buy an HDTV.

Plasma is the best way to go. You can’t look at a LCD from the side.

wats better?

they are both good

yes u can… i got a sony LCD tv… and it have 178 degree angle.

I have yet to see one that can do that.

that’s sad… go to circuit city, best buy, or anywhere… and look at some Sony LCD Tv… I’m pretty sure u can find one.

Nope. A LCD is not good for looking at from an angle. That’s the reason I didn’t buy one. Plasma is much better .

well too bad that u didn’t find any… Well, just to let u know. there are LCD that are good at looking at the angle…and Plasma will reflect if there are light hitting on it. and it doesn’t have high resolution like LCD.

you can view an LCD from the side but you lose contrast which really sucks and makes it pointless if you really care about what you are looking at

I like this dude because hes straight up and honest about shit
