Which is better; Sonny or Panasonic- Plasma or LCD?

Question

Im just wanting a tv, nothing to fancy just for the family, i dont entertain or watch alot of movies or sports, just cable tv. My living room is a dim room nit much light. any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

For a dim lit room, a plasma will do nicely.  If the room was bright, I would recommend an LCD tv.  Here is a link to CNET where they compare the two, and you can find what is right for you.

Since you are narrowing it down to 2 manufactures, I would never dream of buying a Panasonic product, let alone a tv.  Sony is by far a better television, regardless of what type of tv you are comparing.  

There are several other tv manufacturers that are reputable, such as Hitachi, Pioneer Elite, and even Samsung.  I would still rather have a Sony :)

Answer 2

Plasma offers better performance, but LCD may cost less and have a longer life.

As for the choice, it's a hard one.  Sony and Panasonic both make stellar television sets, so you should choose one from either brand that represents a good balance between performance and value.

Answer 3

For your criteria, find the best price on a Plasma.  Prices have really dropped on this format of television.  Keep in mind the all digital switch in broadcasting on Feb 17, 2009.

Answer 4

Plasma is better cause LCDs can get saturated and colors could get very strong
