@Superchunk: Why Plasma over LCD?

Overall better video quality due to much better blacks and faster response times, i.e. no blur. However, you could purchase one of the LED tvs that have the LEDs behind the screen (basically not the super skinny models) which allows them to turn the pixels off resulting in far better blacks similar to plasma, however, these are quite a bit more expensive than their Plasma counter parts with no real advantages.

Yes I realize that you get better blacks and a faster response time but there are also quite a few negatives with Plasma screens.  We have the 52" Panasonic plasma's in one of our rooms at work.  They are on 24x7, after a few months usage there is usually some very obvious burn in on the screens.  Plasma's also draw more electricity and are being phased out of the market.

I'm not much of a fan of LCD technology for large screen TV's either.  So I've been on the fence about this issue for years.  Just wanted to hear your opinion why you would prefer plasma over LCD.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
