| Tell Me Why I Should Or Should'nt... Buy a Plasma televsion. They seem a bit less expensive since we are looking to buy a 50" or larger. Hubby says "He's heard bad things." about them but wont elaborate. Any ideas? |

Just my opinion... If buying plasma, Samsung (which I would never buy before?) has some of the best quality plasma's on the market...  PS, highly recommend a quality surge surpressor to protect it as well...

at least mine doesn't. upside, Plasma in my opinion has a better quality picture if you are running Hi-Def input using the HDMI downside, they dont live as long, unless thats been corrected since I looked. and if it has, Plasma is the way to go. Im not sure about glare on the plasma but I can tell you that you can shine a flashlight right into my screen and it does not show reflection at all.

 We are going to go LCD in the family room because of the glare issue.

| Lcd's are better for rooms with alot of light, also they are better for gaming systems, they use a little less power than a plasma and run cooler. Samsung for LCD Panasonic or Pioneer for plasma. ETA- check this forum out, these guys can tell you more. AVS Forum

| I love my Panny 42" Plasma.... I chose Plasma because the picture quality is superior than that of an LCD (HD and DVD). By superior the picture appears more natural to me. Plasma's today are lasting just as long as LCD's. Burn in is still in issue to some degree but it's not nearly as probable as it once was when they first came out. If you do alot of gaming get an LCD, if you watch alot of movies and enjoy a very crisp natural picture get a Plasma. I haven't noticed any glare issues with mine but then again lighting as well as placement play's a big role here... |
