I really expected more from someone that apparently follows me around and pretends to know me...

If you really think I am the market "norm" in terms of what people own, buy or like...you are delusional. I would buy a Plasma over LCD any day. Currently I'm rocking a 65 inch 4K TV but will sell it and get a 4K DLP projector once its widely available. I tend to get the best of the best because I have the means and interest in technology.

However unlike some people here I fully know that 95% of the population doesn't give a shit that plasma has deeper blacks and response time, that 144hz gaming on PC's rapes the consoles or that Bluray non compressed quality is slightly better than digital.

The bottom line is that the general population lives in the "good enough" state of mind when buying technology. Even for me who demands the best, bluray and physical media is a a shittier option due to sheer convinience. Digital video distribution today is more than adequate for someone with high end gear in order to enjoy content to the full extent.

Lol no offense, but I honestly don't remember the last time I quoted you or have even acknowledged your posts, so I don't get what you're talking about when you say I follow you around. But I'm delusional? Lol, whatever you say.

Also, you obviously don't understand why I pointed out your hypocrisy. You chastized the sentiment that console gamers have to make do with not having the best gaming experience in terms of performance compared to PC in the Driveclub thread, but then turn around and defend the general population being satisfied with lower quality media in this thread. Your hypocritical stance was just hilarious to me that's all. No need to get so offended.

P.S. When you say plasmas have better response times over LCDs, I hope you don't mean input lag because that is just false. LCDs generally have far lower input lag times than plasmas.

You are referencing a post where I said something along the lines of..."Imagine how awesome it would be if they made PC version of Halo and didn't hold back to console spec limitations"...and are calling me a hypocrite because I am saying that general public doesn't care about high end, best of the best cool stuff. That is all I will say about that reference.

However, in terms of your last statement...

Reponse Time: time taken for a pixel to change value and back again. Plasma rapes LCDs when it comes to pixel response time.

Input Lag: delay in time between signal input to a display and that same signal being displayed on-screen

I was referencing the first.

And no, generally LCD's don't have far lower input lag. Input lag goes up the better picture processing technology is. High end LCDs have just as much input lag as high end plasmas, if not more. Low end brand name LCDs have less because because their picture is easier to process and display. Very few plasmas these days are low end. Same goes with monitors, TN panels typically have lower input delay while IPS monitors have better color quality.

The beginning of your post sarcastically mocked consoles, then you began your hypothetical scenario. Even in your hypothetical scenario, you pointed out how console developers have to "shoehorn" their games to run on console specs (which is true and why they're the best developers). Please don't pretend like your whole post was just an innocent "what-if" scenario.

Thanks for clarifying your reference. A lot of people merge those two together, so I wasn't sure what you were referring to. And yes, based on the actual technology, plasmas not only have better pixel response, it's actually a non-issue for the technology.

Generally LCDs have lower input lag. It's just a fact. Also, low end brand name LCDs (e.g. Toshiba) have really high input lag times and low input lag times depending on the model. A low end brand TV can have a far higher input lag time as well as poor picture quality compared to a high end brand TV. It's actually fairly inconsistent for all TV brands, as far as I've seen.

You can see a list of many TV's input lag times at the site below. Notice that the vast majority of the lowest ones are LCDs, specifically, SONY brand TVs.
