50" Sony Bravia 1080p Plasma HDTV. Is the best TV for HD gaming and for watching fast moving sports.

i want a 42" model because my room is not that big and i feel there is no need for 50" ... but i want to know .. is it true 1080p or not ??

 



I'm not sure which is technically the best. Personally, I have a 42" plasma that looks great while playing games. I didn't go looking for a plasma in particular when I picked one out. It just happened to have the best picture out of all the other televisions.

It's only 720p btw, so I can't help you there.



I highly recommend plasma. Some of the newest models are full 1080p, but at 42" you aren't really going to notice anyway.

Whichever is cheaper.



Just don't get a DLP...they often have a slight delay, making most games have a little bit noticeable lag, and music games impossible.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

DON'T buy a Plasma. Plasmas use a lot more electricity than LCDs, and energy prices are increasing a lot. It's very possible prices will get even worse, you will want to have as few energy-guzzlers as possible in your house.

Power usages vary wildly between makes and models; some LCDs use virtually as much power as plasmas at the same screen size.  Really, if someone is buying a $2000 TV, they can probably afford a few extra watts to power it.

Every LCD vs Plasma comparison I've seen gives a significant advantage to LCDs in terms of power consumption. If you have any links saying otherwise, please post.
