To etype2.

I’m very confused with your argument about a 65″ tv showing no dimming of quality but a 46″ in the same position will show dimming.
My question to you is: If you cover the edge of your 65″ set so it would look like a 46″ then magically it would show dimming of quality?

This is awesome! I think David Pogue needs to call you to help explain HDTV, because your article is so much clearer than his. The benefits of specialization, I suppose. ;-)

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for this article, it was really helpful and has actually reduced my options down to around 3 HDTVs.

There is one thing I would like to ask, and that is image retention in plasmas, especially when playing videogames. I understand that ghost images in Plasmas are non-existent (or almost), but some pause images can burn the Plasma.

I know it’s gotten significantly better over time, but the question is: overall, is plasma the way to go for gaming HDTVs? Please consider, I have a Playstation 3 with many games that can run at 1080p resolution.

Thank you!!

Hoping to buy either 46″ or 55″ models of Samsung 8500 line but have unresolved questions. I hope these will last as long as my 10 yr old Sony top end 32″ which is still perfect. If I knew I had 8 to 10 years, it makes the price much easier to swallow.:-)

How much of the technology in sets of this level will be wasted when viewing HD Cable box quality broadcast TV? Is it a total waste now and in the near future or are some benefits still going to be seen vs. a Blu-Ray or DVD which I know can let a display like this shine? Of course not sure of my viewing habits down the road but now, mostly broadcast TV.

Hope question makes sense?

@j-ball
I have a 4 year old 42″ 720p low quality plasma TV. Last year I had it hooked up to my computer in my living room and played World of Warcraft on it for a solid year. Were talking sessions of 12+ hours at a time. I experienced 0 burn in. It’s a myth! If it didn’t happen on my old, low quality Plasma, I’m 100% sure it’s not going to happen on any current plasma TV.
