Take it from someone who works in an electronics store and who sells tv’s for a living. LCD Televisions are far superior and have far more advantages that plasmas. First, less electricity generated. Customers can feel the heat coming off of them as soon as they go up to them. Most customers I deal with say picture quality is the main reason why they buy a television and generally Sony, Samsung, and LG LCD Tv’s have the best picture quality period. People also still see blur on some plasma models. That’s because the 600hz subfield drive that is on some plasma models really has nothing to do with refresh rate. It is how fast the color reproduces. So 120 and 240 hz LCD’s have better motion. Period. LCD over Plasma. take it from an expert.

Consumers are sheep. Most people are too lazy to actually find out which technology is best. Out of the many friends and associates I have most do not even bother doing the research on the pros and cons of each of the technologies. They usually rely on the input from the salesman. In fact, I have a friends that sells these at a chain and he does not even know the pros and cons-and he is number 2 at his company!

It will be years before LCD can match plasmas off axis viewing advantage. Only the most expensive of LCD panels can come “close” at best.
Motion lag? LCD is getting better but still can not match plasma consistently enough to say the “same as plasma”.

I do not know why I even bother, go to AVSforums.com and see how many new consumers show up there with posts asking if they should get HD cable etc to make the picture look better.Most of them think the TV itself magically makes any content “high def” These are the same fools that are choosing lcd over and over.

After 10 years of that good old 27 inch tube, I finally got the ok from the wife to by a brand new HDTV, so I did all my homework and it basically points out to a Panasonic TC-50G10, but now I am now reading on that 24P original encoding that Bluray outputs if you select it from your player, but this set don’t do 24P, I have to go up a notch again to TC-50V10 to get this feature… Is it really worth it if you watch a few movies/Bluray a week? Do we really notice that flicker they say going from 24P to 60P?

Thanks.

So the last of my tube TVs died last night. I had a pretty 26 inch Sony that was only about 8 years old. Its my bedroom tv, and went to turn it on and something blew inside. I am not going to fix it. Now I need a new bedroom TV. I really like the new Samsung and LG TVs. I had assumed I would be getting LCD, but I am definately going to look at plasma seriously now.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the growing popularity of their LCD cousins has TV makers such as Pioneer and Vizio phasing out their entire plasma TV line-ups. Others may soon follow suit. (Read an alternative take on the future of Plasma TVs.) [...]
