pffff no plasma.

Well least you wont know what you are missing, i love the vibrant colors.

LMAO, get with the times! the latest LCD models easily match the latest Plasma models and some models easily surpass them,

 

I spent about 6 months researching before buying my HD TV, I went for a top spec Sony 720P Plasma, within a week I had returned it (poor picture and sound was not what i expected) and got a Samsung LCD 1080P, then two weeks later I returned that and got the new LG 52" 1080P LCD TV, absolutely fantastic TV, can't fault it in anyway and the picture is one of the best set's I have seen, the casing looks nice too, no visible speakers but has superb sound, 5 HDMi, 3 Scart, Bluetooth, 120hz (I leave this off though), USB update, <3 m/s response time, zero lag, game mode, 75 picture settings in expert mode and absolutely no ghosting even on HD football!,

I've now also got an LG monitor for my PC! very good make these days and very good value for the features and quality.

My mum and dad have a Panasonic Plasma 720P TV and they aren't happy with that either, it's also had some screen burning issues, you can see the Sky 1 logo almost all the time now, anyway to get rid of it?

Both LCD and Plasma have made huuggee improvements from when they first came out. LCD can do much better contrast and viewing angle, plasma has much longer life span, and little to no burn in. Still, for overall picture quality, I would go with Plasma, the fact that each pixel is individually lit means it can produce much more vibrant colors than LCD can. My friend has a 46'' aquos that we played infamous on when it came out. A week later he got a 52'' plasma, it just looks soooooo much nicer. Not resolution wise, but color wise, everything is so bright and vibrant.

Plasmas do deliver the best PQ, but I'm afraid it won't be around too much longer unless Panasonic and Samsung can carry it on their backs. Pioneer dropping out (arguably the manufacturer with the best PQ of all TVs, of any type) was a huge blow to plasma.
