I think only people who can't afford LED's are the people talking up Plasma's, I just do not see what your going on about with a tv that is bulky and will die rather quick. I have a LCD samsung that I bought 6 years ago. It started not wanting to turn on. Well, I went to radio shack, spent 10 bucks and bought new Compasitors. Installed them and the tv works great. Maybe if some of you knew what you where talking about then maybe I could understand. This tv I'm talking about is now a bedroom tv and I upgraded to a Samsung - 55" Class - LED - 1080p - 240Hz - Smart - 3D - HDTV. By far looked better then any plasma there and I have had no issue and games look amazing.

What you mean plasma's are bulky? My plasma is like 2cms thin and it costed me 1500 euros, around the same price of a comparable LED tv.

LOL Plasma will die quick? Stop talking lies buddy, Plasmas have now 100,000 hours before the phosphors are half as bright(half life), this means watching your plasma for 18 years/3hours a day.

 

Face it, Plasmas are superior. People preferring LEDS fall for all the hype in the store: "its so thin!" "its so shiny!", stores WANT you to buy a LED, thats why they are in better settings then plasmas in stores.

 

When its time to replace my Samsung plasma I'll go with a Panasonic, the VT50 plasmas are near perfect, not there yet with the best TV ever made but almost: Pioneer Kuro 500A

We don't agree when it comes to gaming platforms but we are cut from the same cloth regarding this matter. Funny you mention the in store hype and Spaceguy linked Bestbuy as they are universally known to be THE WORST for their tv settings in stores. I bet the asshole working there talked him into his tv purchase along with that completely stupid HDMI cable.
