Gaming - LCD or Plasma ? - View Post

I have a 50'' "Soniq" Plasma (720p / 1080i), and I love it. I would always recommend a Plasma for movies & gaming - LCDs make for better monitors, or when you need a super high resolution.

I also think full HD (1080p) is just a waste of money, but the cost has come down a lot recently.

I bought my TV for under $2000 AU around 12 months ago, and its now $1299 (AU). The 40'' version is only around $799 AU.

 

1080p isn't really a big deal for games, at least not yet. Most games don't even go to 1080p, though with what I have, I can tell the difference with GT5P. For Blu-ray I think this is a different story. I just went from a 720p to 1080p 120hz TV. There is a pretty noticeable difference in movies that go 1080p. I am as much a movie buff as a video game nerd, so I wanted to go all the way. Games will get there soon, but for now, 720p is probably enough for the vast majority of gaming.
