Just before we broke, the playback geeks were gabbin' w/ some crew. Just listenin' in as I'm workin' by, I heard one guy say, "Plasma's gone. Go LCD. The technology still hasn't stopped on it."
Just sayin' that I respect the source. Ultimately, you should get whatever works for YOU. Frosty (still lovin' his relatively new wide-screen LCD computer monitor)

realy depends on what size you want and what type of content your going to be using it for.
smaller screen sizes go with a lcd. larger screen sizes go with a plasma. plasmas produce FAR supirior colours to lcd. each pixel in plasma emmits its own light and RGB colour spectrum. LCD depends on a backlight wich passes light through the pixels witch reduce your black level wich then fades out your colours.you hear about cinespeed,and 2ms or 0ms responce times on the larger lcd panels but all that is a a digital chip wich processes the image faster and creates ghosting..... *edit* HD hockey with excellent cables on a 50" inch plasama is some SERIOUS awsome. HD hockey with excellent cables on a 52" LCD is some SERIOUS crap. unless your want to breach the 5g mark.*txes,dlv,wrnty* people who own lcds might read that and go..."you dont know shit, MY FUCKING TV LOOKS SICK AND IM THE MAN"....trust me, ive spent years compareing panels lcd,pdp's,mmd on different sources,cables,pwr conditioners side by side with crazy tweaky ISF gurus calibrating them...plasma always kills. responce times: if you like to watch sports,hockey,or play really intensive video games and want a HUGE 50 plus screen.... Plasma is your best choice. plasmas have aboslutly NO lag time and the 'myth' of image burn in from video game consoles are really a non issue. prices are reasonable now that obviously what ever panle you choose go with a 1080p. sales goofs will throw the '120hz' spec at you but BELEIVE ME, its nice to have but for now and the next 5 years or so its a useless spec and a marketing ploy. in terms of brands: for plasma it ends with panasonic. for lcd:sony/samsung are made in the same facility,both are good. but i would personally spend my money on a sharp aqous.... i own a 50'' panasonic 1080i plasma in the living room and a 42" toshiba lcd in the bedroom. toshiba is good but the only reason i have it is cause toshiba gave one to me free as a sales bonus.... plasma was the first consumer flat panel. they droped at prices of 20-25 k for about a 42'' or so. everyone and THERE MOTHER were looking for anyexcuse to dog the technology and create a justification for not spending that amount of money for a panel....thats why there is STILL a stigma around the technology. but, any industry insider or av salesguy worth his salt will tell you 10 times over....46-60"..plasma is the best,..smaller size?...lcd. i hope that helps and wasnt too confusing. and purchase the warnty. some retailers are far better then others. this should be your deciding factor when chosing where to purchase your panel Last edited by Revolver; Dec 21, 07 at 09:35 AM.

No way. I was helping a friend of mine with a little side bussiness he had buying TV's in the US and bringing them up and selling them out of his house. Trust me I've carried dozens of LCD's and dozens of Plasma's. The Plasma's are probably 4x as heavy.

you don't have a clue. go to any site and look up the specs on a comparable size between the two. they're all within 5 kilos of one another. I love it when people talk out their ass.

a plasma panel will last a good solid 15 plus years just like a lcd. absolutly no difference in life spans of eaither tech. plus within 5-10 most likely you will be into another technology.

I've been looking for a new TV to enhance my xbox 360 experience. I've been thinking of going at least 46", I want Master Chief to pop out of my screen!

ya... funny... making an extra couple thousand a week to have people come to your house once in a while in the evening is such a joke.. and it's such a hassle to make a trip to seattle every 2nd weekend or so... watch a mariner's game, or seahawk's game, do some shopping come back.

if your talking about doing things off the truck its hardly worth going to the states to purchase it to bring it across to board to sell. i think you are completely full of shit. port of vancouver=one of the biggest ports for consumer electronics=one of the biggest rings for 'sideline sales' if you and your buddy really knew what you were doing you wouldnt even be wasting your time or energy dealing down there in the states.

^ you don't know the margins. the margins were unbelievable. The guy jacked the price up, way way waaaaaaaay up after 6-8 weeks of doing trips down their. Made it not worth it.
BTW it wasn;t my bussiness. it was a close friends. I used to have a 15pass. van... fits a lot of TV's. Helping a friend out.
