Question

Which would you prefer, plasma or lcd?

Answer 1

The answer is "it depends."  One of the considerations is where are you going to be watching.  A brightly lit room with lots of sunshine would do better with an lcd.  The plasma screen tends to reflect more light, creating a glare.  The lcd will give you a brighter screen. The other consideration is the size of the screen.  Generally speaking, plasma tv's come in larger sizes, and lcd's are smaller.  Overall, at this point most experts agree that the plasma tv provides a better picture, because it has blacker blacks, which means you will notice  better contrast.  The one problem I have with my lcd is that in dark scenes,  the picture tends to get muddy, and difficult to see.  I chose a lcd screen because the room is south facing with lots of sunlight. You should probably view the different tv's in a store, where you can compare side by side.

Answer 2

he makes a good pt, but w/ plasmas, they "break" quicker. lcd is more reliable to last longer, and if u hook up hd, which u should if ur buying a tv like that, it'll be just almost as good as the plasma. the thing w/ the plasmas, they need to be refilled w/ plasma, depending on how much u use it, which on average is bout 2-3 yrs. compared to lcd, u wont have to. if u got the money, and time to find a plasma installer, go 4 it, but it seems like to much a hassle. plus plasma is exp.
