Whats better LCD or Plasma?

Whats better LCD or Plasma?

Lies

In terms of how long the product will remain functioning, LCD.
In terms of picture quality, plasma. Plasma screens run hotter and require much more power than LCDs.
If you want to watch a lot of action movies and sports, go with plasma. If you don't mind occasional ghosting and want to save on your electricity bill, LCD.

Unless you plan on sitting 4" from the TV and analysing every single pixel on the display you see almost no difference between a modern LCD TV compared to a modern Plasma TV.

Buy whichever has the most input sources, is the right size, and the right price for you,

LCD, but buy it in person because I've seen LCD's that suck and plasmas that where great and vise versa.

I can't stand LCD's for one simple fact: The worst off-axis viewing in the world. Granted they have gotten better in this area, but you have to pay more for the better ones. Plasma's you can view from any angle and it will look just as good. I have a 50" plasma, and have had nothing but fun with it. Plasma's are a great choice.

That didn't accomplish much except "quality varies."

Agreed, Sykil. My mom's 40" Samsung HDTV looks great from most angles. You're most likely not going to be looking at the screen from a 15 degree angle, so viewing angle is negligible.

Yeah, I dunno about you guys but I get pissed when I can't view my show when I'm directly off to the side of it, long live plasma.

Haha, jk.

I prefer both, depends on the use. Living room... Plasma... My bedroom a nice 32" LCD HDTV because it's directly in front of my bed and I view it just as crisp and clear as anything. Plasma I can hang though, hence it's place in the living room. I'm a minimalistic freak
