Lcd Or Plasma ?
« on: November 01, 2005, 08:15:00 PM »
First off I searched. Nothing has come up. I have seen a couple of threads a while back about different tv's but I cant find them now

I have $3000 to spend $3500 max. I want a 42" tv for sure I know. However I dont know anything about plasma vs lcd. I have read some stuff that says lcd is better and last longer or you can change a bulb or something if they burn out and you cant on a plasma tv. But then they say lcd leaves ghost trails on some stuff thats moving quick and plasma doesnt? Which would be better for using the 360 with? Thats my main question. Also, if ya'll have $3000 to spend on a 42 " tv, what would you get? Any links or anything would be really helpful. I cant stand going to bestbuy or something and people trying to sell me stupid crap that I dont need or dont want.  Thanks in advance.

Plasma tv's can display more vivid colors than LCD tv's.  However they are also suseptible to burn in wich LCD TV's are imune to.  

I would recomend LCD over plasma for gaming.

I'm not a fan of either LCD or plasma, but you might find better help in the AV section.   beerchug.gif

Ah, forgot they had that section of the forums.

How do you exactly burn a plasma tv? Like if I had a game paused and left the tv on for hours or something?

the brightness starts to diminish the MOMENT you first turn a plasma on, so unless you have 3,000 for a tv every 5 or 6 years i say go with lcd, you will be just as happy

Thats what I got. I don't know that much about tv's, but I looked into them and ended up with this one. I can't stand buying anything small from a best buy because I can always get it cheaper of newegg or ebay. However this was a good piece of money and if something were to happen to it I'd want to be able to get it fixed easily. The serveice plan wasn't that bad for the three year deal, plus they threw in the 500 dollar stand for free. Then all the reward zone points I got back. I purchased this back when it had a 200 or so instant rebate with it, so I think I got a great deal. I know you said you only wanted a 42...but still I thought I'd through it in.

Ya, thats a nice tv to. I am pushing it since my room is pretty small with a 44" but maby after some rearrangeing I could get a 50" or so inch in here. I think I will definiltly get a lcd tv b/c I dont want to have to buy another one in a couple of years if plasmas go bad. It took me almost a year to save up the money I have to blow for this tv.

WOW so much wrong info on plasma displays....Read up-----a lot has changed since you last checked burn in maybe but with all new plasma display implanting some sort of safety guard against it (pixel shifting) you have to try pretty damn hard to burn something in your screen ---7 years max at full brightness maybe true for your 1st and 2nd generation plasma displays....Try 27 years now.....Plasma are in the 5th and 7th generations now and with prices falling so fast why not invest in a great tv.....
