Answer 2

plasma HDTV

Answer 3

put it this way:

lcd - good for everyday viewing and gaming

plasma - good for fast action movies and sports

i would advice you to buy an lcd tv. it lasts much longer and also very suitable in all conditions. whereas a plasma screen will be good for night time viewing. the problem with plasma is that it has a shorter life and is more fragile

Answer 4

I love my new LCD. The plasma is going out soon I heard and the new Laser T>V> is coming in at the first of the year. Will be expensive but think about a laser light show. Will be so great. But as for now, I say get  the LCD. I have the Sharp Aquos Liquid Crystal and it is awsome. Blessings.

Answer 5

Plasma Pros:

Good plasmas have better contrast (range of blacks and whites)

Wider Viewer Angle

Better at displaying fast motion

LCD Pros:

LCDs are generally brighter

May have less glare

No chance for image burn in

Lower Electric Bill

If you are going to have a lot of natural light in the room with the HDTV, go for LCD (generally are brighter and have less glare).

The lifetime of plasma is generally not a big problem.  Most of them are rated for 60,000 hours of use until the image is half as bright as when it was new.  That's more than 5 years of constant use.
