yes it is actually because I have seen display models with burnt images on them. Burnt image is a lower risk due to wobulation but it is not eliminated by any means.

 

Plasma TV's work best in a Dark room while LCD's do best in a room that has a lot of light.

 

Also Plasma and LCD can last as long as 60,000 hours.

 

so for gaming, which is the recommended set to go with? LCD I'm guessing?

 

It's more about what size screen you are going with really.

36" and under LCD is better
40" and up plasma has the edge

Plasma generally isn't available until about the 36" and up range anyways. It also has a slightly faster refresh rate which you may notice when watching high action sports, movies etc.

I dunno it's all personal preference really but check out www.hdguru.com and he breaks it down pretty good.

 

OT Nightshade. I have my Blu ray and HD DVD's contacts now and should have my HD business up and running soon

 

Sweet, you will have to let me know when your site is up and running and I may be buying a few HD from ya

 

I just went TV shopping yesterday. Multiple places informed me that plasmas will last at least 7 to 10 years. The problem is that they will fade over time and once they fade too much, you are out of luck because the fading cannot be stopped.

 

If you watch TV 8 hours a day 7 days a week = 56 hours a week.

56 hours a week X 52 weeks in a year = 2,912

2912 X 7 years = 20,384

2912 X 10 = 29,120

And I posted above that new LCD's and Plasma TV's last up to 60,000 hours.

 

I'll do that but for now I have my collection on ebay...
